A landmark case is a case in a court that is being studied due to its legal and historical significance. These cases are those that have lasting effect on the implementation of a law and these would often pertain to individual beliefs and rights. The landmark cases are keys to the interpretation of certain laws that were not present during the period of that certain case. It provides better understanding and grounds for the implementation of a certain law. Examples of landmark cases are Marbury v. Madison, McCulloch v. Maryland, Plessy v. Ferguson, Korematsu v. United States and Dred Scott
Answer:
Napoleon’s actions went against Enlightenment principles because he:
1. Ruled absolutely
2. Crowned himself emperor
3. Restricted freedom of the press
Explanation:
<em>1. Ruled absolutely</em>
The first democratic values were introduced during the age of Enlightenment. Absolutism (rule of one) as type of governance is opposite to democracy (rule of the people).
<em>2. Crowned himself emperor
</em>
The fact that Napoleon crowned himself as an emperor goes against the principles of Enlightenment, because according to the Social Contract Theory (Locke and Rousseau) the people have to give agreement for the political developments of such a scale.
<em>3. Restricted freedom of the press. </em>
Freedom of speech is one of the core ideas of the Enlightenment and restriction of press goes directly against this principle.
