I believe one of them is the Gettysburg Address
some ideas to help you get started are:
- the colonists were upset about the Tea Act being passed
- the tea act was significant because it created a monopoly for the East India Trading Company
- The colonists were not allowed to get tea from anywhere but the East India Trading Company
- Many colonists viewed the Tea Act as a tyrannical act
The decisions they make later apply to every similar situation everywhere in the country. For example, there was a case in which students wanted to wear armbands protesting the war, but the school said that was disruptive. The Supreme Court sided with the student, and said they had a right to free speech as long as it wasn’t causing a material interruption. This case would later be the example on how to solve many cases regarding student’s freedom of speech.
