Question

Describe the Supreme Court's position on federalism from the founding of the republic to the present day. What landmark cases have

been most influential in shaping federal-state relations? Has the Supreme Court's position changed frequently, or has its stance been
generally consistent, despite a few unique periods?

Answer 1

The Supreme Court plays a very important role in our constitutional system of government. First, as the highest court in the land, it is the court of last resort for those looking for justice. Third, it protects civil rights and liberties by striking down laws that violate the Constitution.
