Tone is the author's attitude toward the speech. Since we know that Dr. King was the author and presenter of the speech, this was one of inspiration, seriousness, hope, and encouraging. This is not to be confused with mood. Mood is your feelings from the text. So, while the tone may be one of hope, to say it was 'hopeful' would be a mood (if that is indeed what you are feeling when hearing it.)
Brown Vs Board of Education sparked debate on civil rights as described in the Constitution.
Roe Vs Wade was about women's right to abortion.
Bush Vs Gore determined who won the election in Florida and ultimately the presidential election.
In the last case, state law in Florida required recount of ballots if the totals were very close. But Gore only requested recounts in four counties. FL Supreme Court ordered a statewide recount instead.

The recount was stopped and Bush won.
