The Hereford Mappa Mundi was created in around the 1300s and is currently being kept in the Hereford Cathedral. The map was drawn on a single sheet of vellum (calfskin).

The maps were drawn and written with lots of detailed information, but could only be read by people who spoke a certain branch of French (Norman…

Supreme Court justices do have personal views. They are appointed through a political process. Observers naturally must ask how great a role their political views actually play. Some scholars argue that the justices’ political preferences play a large role, essentially dictating their decisions in many cases. They point to the fact that justices appointed by conservative presidents tend to vote in a conservative fashion and those appointed by liberal presidents vote the opposite way. The…

such a ceremony had taken place on the death of a Supreme Court justice. Ironically, his enemy, President Richard Nixon attended his funeral and then resigned the presidency on August 9, 1974. Earl Warren was buried on July 12, 1974 with military honors at Arlington Ceremony. Earl Warren’s legacy One of Earl Warren’s core beliefs was that public office was to be treated as a public trust.

Richard Nixon became the 37th president of the United States of America in 1969. President Nixon decided to declare his War On Drugs in 1971 because he felt that hippies and black people were the greatest hindrances to his presidency. Nixon’s War On Drugs has destroyed and continues to destroy a lot of blacks families lives American because either one or both parents are serving outrageously sentences behind bars; therefore a lot of their children have a greater deal of difficulty in advancing…

Marbury v Madison (1803), was the first instance of increase of power, when Chief Justice John Marshall first implemented judicial review, a doctrine where the judicial branch examines the constitutionality of actions taken by the legislative and executive branches.

Since the passage of…

In his paper, I will be focusing on former Supreme Court Justice, Earl Warren. This paper explains his early life, law practices, and the legacy he left behind. Earl Warren…

On May 17, 1954, these men, members of the U.S. Supreme Court, ruled unanimously that racial segregation in public schools is unconstitutional. In spring 1953, the Court heard the case but was unable to decide the issue and asked to rehear the case in fall 1953, with special attention to whether the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause prohibited the operation of separate public schools for whites and blacks. The Court reargued the case at the behest of Associate Justice Felix…

The Polarized Court Prior jurisprudence says a lot about the Supreme Court today. The Warren Court—one of the most memorable Court’s in our nations history—hit many hot button issues of its time. An interesting juxtaposition is looking at the Roberts Court, who has had equally hot button issues of more recent times, and its approach. When I reflect on the Warren Court I am mesmerized by its legacy and impact on a more equal society, specifically, Brown v. Board of Education. The unanimous…

The United States of the 1950s was rife with controversy, uncertainty, and tension. Much of this resulted from the international problems that plagued the country, largely due to the end of World War II and the onset of the Cold War. But domestically, the Civil Rights movement was heating up and applying pressure on the US government more significantly than it had in several decades. In 1954, the Supreme Court unanimously overturned the long-held rule of Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which had…
