What role did the Supreme Court play in women's rights?
The US Supreme Court historically restricted women's rights by applying the so-called "reasonableness" standard, allowing federal, state and local governments to enact discriminatory laws that the Court deemed constitutional because they served a "legitimate" government interest. Historically, this doctrine has been used to deny women the right of reproductive choice, workplace protection, redress for discriminatory treatment and other important liberties.
How did the US Supreme Court undermine African-American rights in the post-Reconstruction era?
The US Supreme Court undermined African-American rights in the post-Reconstruction era through decisions like Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, which upheld segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine. The Court also limited the scope of the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause, allowing states to enact discriminatory laws that targeted African Americans.

Has the selective incorporation been changed?
Selective incorporation, the legal doctrine that ensures states cannot enact laws that infringe on the rights protected by the Bill of Rights, has not fundamentally changed but has evolved through various Supreme Court rulings. Key amendments have been incorporated over time, with the most recent significant cases reinforcing or expanding these protections. However, the core principle remains intact, as the Supreme Court continues to interpret the applicability of the Bill of Rights to the states on a case-by-case basis. Thus, while the specific applications may evolve, the overall framework of selective incorporation persists.
Can congress overrule supreme court decison on Texas vs Johnson case?
Congress cannot directly overrule the Supreme Court's decision in Texas v. Johnson, which affirmed the right to burn the American flag as a form of free speech under the First Amendment. However, Congress can enact legislation that could limit or regulate flag desecration, provided it aligns with constitutional standards. Such legislation would likely face legal challenges and scrutiny to ensure it does not violate the First Amendment rights upheld by the Supreme Court. Ultimately, the judiciary would have the final say on the constitutionality of any new laws.
