The United States Supreme Court has both preserved and challenged American democracy throughout its lifetime. From the cases that started it all to controversial justices and fomented rulings, this podcast dives deep into the Court's many decisions - all through the eyes of a high-schooler. Starting with the 15 required Supreme Court cases for the AP U.S. Government and Politics course, I will examine how the most important cases and rulings have shaped the Court. Sit back, relax - well, maybe get your notebook - and enjoy taking a historical tour through the United States' highest court.

Schenck v. United States (1919)

In this episode, I examine the case that placed the first restrictions on the First Amendment - more specifically, the freedom of speech: Schenck v. United States. I talk with Stewart Harris, Ph.D., of Lincoln Memorial University in Tennessee, about the Schenck precedent, the First Amendment -and how its limits get complicated (i.e., Trump, January 6) - and how the Court views speech today. Professor Harris also had a podcast, which ran for ten years, ceasing during the pandemic. Check it out here!
