The three most significant cases the supreme court has heard are Brown vs. Board of Education, Gideon vs. Wainwrights, and Obergefell vs. Hodges. All of these cases revolve around equality, which is why I think they are the most important.
The first case I have chosen to talk about, is the most important one to me, which is Obergefell vs. Hodges. This case had a 5-4 ruling, which shows how debatable this problem is. Obergefell vs. Hodges case legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states. I know this is a very sensitive subject, but I do not believe in same sex marriage, I think it is wrong and unbiblical. It was ruled unconstitutional to deny a marriage license because of the Due Process clause and the Equal protection clause.

Board of Education, with a ruling of 9-0. This is a 1954 supreme court case that declared is was unconstitutional to segregate schools by race.

Segregation of the schools lead African American individuals to have lower racial self-esteem, which gave them an inferior complex. I think that this is an important case because everyone is created equally, and race should not determine what education, jobs or interaction that you have. It is also significant because it indicates the start of the equality for racial differences in the United
