In the United States, some court cases have had a significant impact on shaping the country's laws and legal system. One such landmark case is Marbury v. Madison (1803), where the Supreme Court established its power of judicial review. Another important case is Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. The case of Miranda v. Arizona (1966) led to the requirement that individuals must be informed of their rights when being arrested. Roe v. Wade (1973) legalized abortion in the United States.
Furthermore, in 1963, Gideon v. Wainwright established the right to legal counsel for criminal defendants who cannot afford a lawyer. Loving v. Virginia (1967) struck down laws banning interracial marriage. In 1978, Regents of the University of California v. Bakke addressed affirmative action in university admissions. And in 2000, Bush v. Gore decided the disputed presidential election. Each of these cases has had a profound impact on the legal landscape of the United States and continues to influence legal decisions today.
