1-4 Short Paper: History and Landmark Court Decisions

You have researched Muller v. Oregon and have read Supreme Court Declares School Segregation Unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education.

Choose one of these cases and look at the impact it had on society at the time. Look through the rulings and see what the justices on each side argued.

Then in a short paper, discuss how current societal mores and beliefs seemed to affect (or not affect) the SCOTUS decision and if the decisions themselves became the catalyst for societal change. How does the law affect society and society affect the way the Constitution is viewed? At the end, include a paragraph about which side of the case a forensic psychologists might support and why.
