Marbury v. Madison (1803): This case established the principle of judicial review, giving the Supreme Court the power to declare laws unconstitutional.
Brown v. Board of Education (1954): This case overturned the doctrine of "separate but equal" and ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional.
Miranda v. Arizona (1966): This case established the "Miranda rights" that must be read to suspects before they are questioned by police.
Roe v. Wade (1973): This case legalized abortion in the United States.
Citizens United v. FEC (2010): This case struck down restrictions on corporate spending in elections, opening the door to unlimited campaign spending.

These cases have had a profound impact on American democracy. They have helped to define the meaning of our Constitution and have protected the rights of all Americans. However, they are also a reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice.

American democracy is facing a number of challenges today, including:

Voter suppression: Laws that make it more difficult for people to vote, especially people of color and low-income people.
Gerrymandering: The practice of drawing electoral districts to give one political party an unfair advantage.
Judicial activism: The use of the courts to overturn laws and policies that are popular with the majority of Americans.
Campaign finance: The influence of money in politics, which gives wealthy donors and corporations an undue influence over our government.

These challenges are eroding the core principles of American democracy. They are making it harder for people to participate in the political process, and they are giving special interests too much power.

The fight for justice is an ongoing struggle. It is a struggle to ensure that all Americans have equal rights and opportunities. It is a struggle to protect our democracy from those who would undermine it.

This book is a call to action. It is a call to defend our democracy and to fight for justice. It is a call to build a more just and equitable society for all Americans.
