How have Supreme Court cases extended our rights as citizens

History

The Supreme Court case has extended our rights in several different ways. One of the most important rulings that granted citizens more freedoms was the case of Tinker vs. Des Moines.

In this case, Tinker and her friends wore black armbands to school with the peace sign on them to represent their displeasure with the Vietnam War. The students were then punished by the school district for wearing these armbands. The Tinker family sued, saying that this should be considered protected free speech under the 1st amendment. After decisions in local/appeals courts, the Supreme Court took on this case.

In the end, the judges sided with Tinker. This court case extended the idea that Americans have the right to freedom of speech even when they are in the classroom setting. As long as the speech/protest does not disrupt the educational process, then students have the constitutional right to share their views and opinions.

What was nazi germany like?
GREYUIT [131]

Nazi Germany was chaotic. Wide spread racism was apparent in the air towards Jews, Gypsies, Bisexuals, and many more minorities. Hitler brainwashed all his followers into believing in an autocratic government which ensured it's followers in permanent prosperous in the near future. Nazi Germany was well known around the world, making it have many enemies (and some allies) at that time. Nazi Germany will be forever known. Hope this helped :)

How did American society change because of the Vietnam war in terms of support, opposition and what lasting effects did it have
Debora [2.8K]
The United States had entered the conflict in Vietnam as the world’s superpower following its decisive victory over the Axis powers in World War II, but left Vietnam with a humiliating defeat, shockingly high casualties, American public sharply divided and its leaders uncertain of what lay ahead in foreign policy. The nation’s longest and most debilitating war – the only war the U.S. ever lost, had far-reaching consequences and impact on most aspects of American life from the economy, culture to domestic politics and foreign policy – some of which continue to do so today.The Vietnam War damaged the U.S. economy severely. The U.S. had poured some $168 billion into the war, but the real cost of the conflict was its impact on the economy.

After a few truly good years during 1962 – 1965 when there was low inflation, almost full employment and a favorable balance of trade<span>, </span>President Lyndon B. Johnson, who succeeded President Kennedy after his assassination in 1963, declared a “War on Poverty” through his “Great Society” programs while escalating the war in Vietnam at the same time.

However, his decision to finance both “guns and butter” – a major war and the Great Society simultaneously, without a significant increase in taxes unleashed an acceleration of inflation peaking at a runaway double-digit in mid 1970s.

Not until 1969 did President Johnson decided to introduce a 10% income tax surcharge, which is considered by many economists “too little and too late” and in turn also slowed down the economy. It’s worth mentioning that Congress would not allow that “surcharge” to be implemented until President Johnson agreed to cut $6 billion from domestic spending on Great Society programs. Despite their relative success, Johnson could have undoubtedly spent more on these programs had he not had to pay for the war abroad, which Martin Luther King, Jr. had referred to as a “America’s tragic distraction” at the beginning of Johnson administration
