Let's go to the movies. The following are movies of some of the most famous supreme court cases of American History. It is important for all of us to be familiar with their teachings.
The first four movies are known as the Marbury v. Madison case and McCulloch Vs. Maryland.

Equal Justice Under Law Marbury v. Madison (1st in a 4 part series). Dramatizations of historic decisions from the courtroom of America's great Chief Justice, John Marshall. Who determines what the Constitution means—what is and is not constitutional? In this 1803 case the Supreme Court established its responsibility to review the constitutionality of acts of Congress. President John Adams appointed Federalist William Marbury as justice of the peace, but failed to deliver Marbury's official commission before President Jefferson and the Democratic party and the Democratic-Republicans took over the administration.



Marbury v. Madison Part III



McCulloch VS Maryland determined the right of the government to coin money and established the federal reserve



Equal Justice Under Law Gibbons v. Ogden (4th in a 4 part series). Presents a conflict between the States and Congress over the authority to regulate commerce. In this case, which linked States' authority to license steamboats in federal waters with a seemingly unrelated issue, slavery, Chief Justice Marshall interpreted the Constitution to give the Federal Government the duty to determine the rules of commerce and established how to lay the foundation for an American common market nearly a century before Europe enjoyed it.
