Experts disagree on how the Constitution should be handled in modern times; is it, for example, a "living" document? What is the original intent of the document, and how does this limit judicial review? An actual case is discussed as well as cruel and unusal punished debated. A good video for older students. Ends abruptly.

The concept of precedent and its implications as a limit to judicial review are explained. This is usually a difficult idea for students to understand and this four minute does supply some examples. It is for older students and does not examine the overruling of existing cases at times.

In 1937 when Elsie Parrish, a maid for the West Coast Hotels in Washington State, sued for back wages based upon the state minimum wage, her employer argued for “liberty of contract.” With the economic challenges of the Depression as a factor and in a true reversal from previous trends, the Supreme Court abandoned strict ideas regarding “free market” protectionism at the expense of individual workers and ruled on the side of Parrish. This video explores the Court’s evolution to accepting President Roosevelt’s New Deal and considering fair labor practices. (07:08)

This week Craig Benzine is going to talk about the structure of the U.S. court system and how exactly it manages to keep things moving smoothly. We’’ll talk about trial courts, district courts, appeals courts, circuit courts, state supreme courts, and of course the one at the top - the U.S. Supreme Court. It’s all quite a bit to manage with jurisdictions and such, but it's important to remember that the vast majority of cases never even make it to court! Most are settled out of court, but also terms like mootness and ripeness are used to throw cases out altogether. We're going to focus on how cases make it to the top, and next week we’ll talk about what happens when they get there. (06:58)

This video shows how Jackson forced the Indian tribes living East of the Mississippi by passing legislation to that effect. The legislation was overthrown by the Supreme Court, but Jackson refused to abide by this decision. This video shows the horrid conditions that the Indians went through and their Trail of Tears. It also explains the nullification act of South Carolina brought to Jackson by Calhoun, an early separatist. These are good talking points for students. (03:32)

This video is accompanied by text. "When California residents applied for statehood after the Gold Rush swelled the population, Congress faced a dilemma. Northerners were a solid majority in the House of Representatives, but the Senate was equally divided between 15 free and 15 slave states. Southerners dominated the Supreme Court and Zachary Taylor, who owned plantations and slaves in Louisiana and Mississippi, was in the White House. California sought admission as a free state, and this threatened to upset the delicate sectional balance. Northerners also expected Utah and New Mexico, in need of territorial governments, to eventually join the Union as free states..."

This short video reviews the Marbury vs. Madison case. At the time of the case, James Madison was the Secretary of State. Another man named William Marbury was one of the midnight judges appointed by John Adams in his final days as the president. Marbury needed commission in order to start work as a judge, but Madison refused to grant the document, and then the U.S Supreme Court got involved. The Court ruled that the law that the law under which Marbury's commission was authorized should be overturned because it permitted powers that violated the Constitution. By declaring the law unconstitutional for the first time in history, the Court had excercised one of the basic checks and balances that were built into the Constitution. Because of that case, the Judicial branch had thrown out a law and acted by Congress. This was the start of Judicial Review. A good video for students being introduced into this concept.

This video is accompanied by text. "In the 1842 case Commonwealth v. Hunt, the Massachusetts Supreme Court held that it was not illegal for workers to organize a union or try to compel recognition of that union with a strike. This was certainly an important step for labor, but the idea of permanent unions was slow to catch on. Since many laborers were immigrants, they often spoke different languages and harbored racial and cultural biases. Many only planned to stay in America long enough to earn sufficient money to return to their homelands and live comfortably, and therefore saw no point in joining a union. For nearly 20 years after the Commonwealth v. Hunt ruling, labor unions tended to be small and limited to skilled trades..."

This digital narrative describes the establishment of judicial review as the Chief Justice John Marshall and the Supreme Court presided over Maurbury vs. Madison in 1803. A student production. Not much depth. Four minutes. There is a lot of vocabulary that needs an explanation and it quickly goes over some Acts rapidly without enough explanation.

A brief look at Andrew Jackson and the Indian Removal Act of 1830 is the subject of this three minute video. It tells the way the Act was fought by the tribe and they were backed by the Supreme Court. Jackson ignored this and thousands of Native Americans died in the Trail of Tears episode. The Nullification Act is also explained as the South starts to fight the Constitution and start steps resulting in the Civil War at a later date.
