The Supreme Court has decided several major cases that changed the lives of Americans by protecting their civil rights (the right to be treated equally under the law, regardless of race, gender, or other characteristics). Choose one of the following landmark Supreme Court cases and reflect and explain how its ruling advanced the goal of equality in the United States: Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) – https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/plessy-v-ferguson Brown v. Board of Education (1954) – https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/brown-v-board-of-education Loving v. Virginia (1967) – https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/388/1/ Miranda v. Arizona (1966) – https://www.uscourts.gov/about-federal-courts/educational-resources/educational-activities/fifth-amendment-activities/miranda-v-arizona/facts-and-case-summary-miranda-v-arizona Roe v. Wade (1973) – https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/supreme-court-case-library/roe-v-wade Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (2022) – https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/supreme-court-case-library/dobbs-v-jackson-womens-health-organization For the case you choose, answer the following: What was the central issue (the “problem”) the Court had to solve? What was the Supreme Court’s decision (the “solution”)? How did that decision change the law and move the U.S. closer to—or further away from—equality? What reflective thoughts do you have on this case? Your essay should be approximately 300 words and include at least two sources cited in a simple APA format.
