    This document outlines a worksheet for students to research and summarize several important US Supreme Court cases related to constitutional rights and precedents.

    Marbury v. Madison established the principle of judicial review, allowing courts to examine the constitutionality of laws. It set the precedent that the Supreme Court has the final say on what is constitutional.

    The 4th Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. Mapp v. Ohio established the exclusionary rule, preventing evidence obtained unconstitutionally from being used in court.
