The National Constitution Center is thrilled to offer interactive classes on the Constitution during the 2020-2021 school year!
When the stories of We the People become cases before the United States Supreme Court, and when those cases result in the opinions of the Court, history turns. The ways we think about and live under the Constitution are reflected in the Court’s interpretations in both their historical contexts and their legacies. Some cases—and the Court’s opinions in them—so profoundly alter our constitutional understandings that they can only rightly be called Landmark Cases—markers of where we have traveled as a nation. In this way, the Landmark Cases show us what we have tried, where we have been, and where we are—leaving We the People and future sessions of the Supreme Court to determine how we move forward towards a more perfect union.
