Constitutional law cases

The Supreme Court has authority to conclusively decide questions of constitutional law through their power of judicial review

Judicial review allows courts to declare actions of governmental bodies unconstitutional and, therefore, prevent the actions from being enforced

Forbidden are laws "impairing the Obligation of Contracts," denying Full Faith and Credit" to the "public Acts" of other States, prohibiting the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing the right to keep and bear arms, authorizing unreasonable searches and seizures, and so forth
