Timeline by Cecilia Kuebler

Engel v. Vitale - 1962

ckuebler3 — 2023-12-15 21:56:43 UTC

This case looks at the First Amendment, freedom of religion. This was a case about a school that didn't allow their students to pray for their religion, only for Christianity. This impacted the importance of freedom of religion. It positively affected equality.

Tinker v. Des Moines - 1969

ckuebler3 — 2023-12-15 22:26:37 UTC

This looks at the First Amendment where Students at Des Moines wore black armbands to publicly show their support for a truce in the Vietnam war. The principles found out about this and made a policy stating that any student wearing an armband would be asked to remove it, with refusal to do so resulting in suspension. Mary Beth Tinker and Christopher Eckhardt wore their armbands to school and were sent home. The following day, John Tinker(Mary Beth's Brother) did the same with the same result. The students sued the school for restriction of their freedom of expression/speech. This impacted the Supreme Court to look more into what schools can restrict and can't. This positively affected pretty much all of the founding ideals.

Miranda v. Arizona - 1966

ckuebler3 — 2023-12-18 21:56:17 UTC

This case looks at the 5th amendment where Ernesto Miranda was arrested in his house and brought to the police station where police questioned him about a kidnaping and rape in the area. The police eventually got a written confession from Miranda. And although the police had not advised Miranda of his right to have an attorney present during the interrogation, he was still found guilty and the Supreme court said Miranda’s constitutional rights were not violated because he did not specifically request counsel. This impacted the importance of reading the convicted their rights. I would say the founding ideals of this case positively affected rights.

Cox v. New Hampshire - 1941

ckuebler3 — 2023-12-18 22:00:29 UTC

This is with the First Amendment, where a group of Jehovah's Witnesses held a sidewalk parade without first obtaining a license and they were fined for "violating" the law. This emphasized freedom of assembly and speech.

Mapp v. Ohio - 1961

ckuebler3 — 2023-12-18 22:01:02 UTC

This looks at the Fourth Amendment, where Mapp was accused of possessing illegal materials and the police instead of getting a warrant just went and searched her house without one. Emphases how badly you need a warrant.

Katz v. US - 1967

ckuebler3 — 2023-12-18 22:01:47 UTC

This case looks at the fourth amendment when the police had suspicion that Katz was giving gambling information form Los Angeles to Boston and Miami. The police wiretapped a public payphone to find out what he was saying.

Batson v. Kentucky - 1986

ckuebler3 — 2023-12-18 22:02:33 UTC

In this case about the 6th amendment, Batson was on trial for burglary and receipt of stolen goods and the prosecutor used his power to remove all four African Americans from the jury pool. This didn't really impact the amendment and was negatively affected by equality.

Bethel School District v. Fraser - 1986

ckuebler3 — 2023-12-18 22:03:35 UTC

This case looks at Frasers First Amendment where at a school assembly of around 600 students, Matthew Fraser made a speech for his friend to be nominated for elective office. In said speech, he made inappropriate gestures and comments. He was suspended for three days. This didn't impact the First Amendment although it did look at opportunity and liberty for the founding ideals.

Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier - 1986

ckuebler3 — 2023-12-18 22:04:41 UTC

This case also looks at the first amendment where students at Hazelwood East High School wrote stories about their friends experiences with teen pregnancy and the impact of divorce. When the students published it, the principal deleted the pages that contained the stories prior to publication without telling the students. This case impacted the first amendment by saying that schools can only restrict so much. The founding ideals were rights and liberty.

Vernonia v. Acton - 1995

ckuebler3 — 2023-12-18 22:05:17 UTC

This case looks at the fourth amendment by saying that when an investigation led to the discovery that high school athletes in the Vernonia School District participated in illegal drug use, schools were able to randomly drug test student athletes. When James Acton and his parents didn't agree to this he was not able to participate in his school's football program. This didn't impact at all however the founding ideal was rights.

Brendlin V. California - 2007

ckuebler3 — 2023-12-18 22:06:51 UTC

This looks at the fourth amendment when a policeman was going to pull over a vehicle for driving with expired tags but when he went to do so he recognized Bruce Brendlin as the driver and as a parole violator and arrested him and found methamphetamine with his stuff and on him. This amendment stayed the same after this case however the founding ideal was liberty.

Carpenter v. US - 2018

ckuebler3 — 2023-12-18 22:07:29 UTC

This case also looks at the Fourth Amendment when the police arrested four men in connection with a series of armed robberies, one guy confessed to the crimes and gave the FBI his phone number and the numbers of the other three guys. The police then issued three orders from magistrate judges to obtain "transactional records" for each of the phone numbers, which the judges granted under the Stored Communications Act, 18 U.S.C. 2703(d). This didn't impact the first man's Fourth Amendment because he gave up his number willingly. This looks at the founding ideals of liberty, rights, and equality.

Mahanoy School District v. BL - 2021

ckuebler3 — 2023-12-18 22:08:07 UTC

This case looks at the First Amendment where freshman(BL) tried out for and failed to make her high school's varsity cheerleading team, making instead only the junior varsity team. Over a weekend and away from school, she posted a picture of herself on Snapchat with the caption “F*** school f*** softball f*** cheer f*** everything.” Some students who saw the captioned photo approached the coach and expressed concern that the snap was inappropriate. Later she was suspended from the junior varsity team for a year. This impacted again what schools are allowed to stop in their free speech and what they can't. The founding ideal is opputunity.

Griswold v. Connecticut - 1965

ckuebler3 — 2023-12-18 22:19:20 UTC

This case looks at the fourteenth amendment. When these women opened a birth control clinic and were arrested for "violating" the law. It impacts the importance of the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. It positively affected our rights.

New York v. Quarles - 1984

ckuebler3 — 2023-12-18 22:22:29 UTC

This case looks at the 5th amendment when Quarles was just shopping at a supermarket when a police officer believed he was an assailant he ordered him to stop. The police pat him down and found an empty shoulder holster and asked Quarles where his gun was. When Quarles responded, the police officer arrested him and read him his Miranda rights. I actually don't this this impacted much or really lookes at the Founding Ideals
