Problem: The Rehnquist Revolution
The following learning goals apply to this exercise:
o Memorize the structure of the judicial system
o State the characteristics of the Supreme Court
o Describe the Supreme Court's process for hearing cases and reaching decisions
o Discuss Marbury vs Madison and the concept of judicial review
Watch the five videos titled, The Rehnquist Revolution. You'll find them in the module for this session. Then answer these questions.
Your answers should be grounded in the videos and should explicitly reference information provided within them. Whenever you reference a specific point from the video, please include the video number and the time at which that point is made (for example: Part 4, 2:47)
• According to the videos, what is the legacy of the Rehnquist Court? In your answer, discuss the court case that best demonstrates that legacy. Hint: "The Rehnquist Court" refers to the era during which William Rehnquist was Chief Justice. So don't use Roe v. Wade. Your answer to this question should be about 250 words.
• Pick one case from the videos that you wish the Rehnquist Court had decided differently. Do you think the Court made the wrong decision? Why or why not? In your answer, focus on the case itself and how it was decided.
The response should include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space and APA style of writing and citations.
