Answer 1

Answer:

I think that Supreme Court rulings can have impacts on civil liberties and civil rights. Rulings on cases that involve the 1st and 14th amendments would impact civil liberties and civil rights. Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier and Tinker v. Des Moines are examples of Supreme Court rulings that impacted civil liberties. Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education are examples of Supreme Court rulings that impacted civil rights.
