Synopsis

VOTE! for the Supreme Court You Want.When you vote for president, you’re also voting for the Supreme Court. Presidents nominate new justices and 80 percent of the time they are approved by the Senate and go on to serve lifetime appointments. As powerful as it seems and impactful on our lives, the American government is an experiment--and a potentially fragile one at that. Created in response to a revolution that overthrew an oppressive monarch (Great Britain), our democratic republic depends on participation by its citizens. In our busy, day-to-day lives we rarely get time to reflect on the government under which we live and that affects us every day. In this series of books we’ll look at how our government was created, how it works and why voting is critical to its direction and survival. One hundred million Americans did not vote in 2016, making our participation rate less than 50 per cent. As you will see in the following pages, as our government was designed, if we don’t vote, others will make the decisions for us. If we don’t vote, a rogue dictator or bad actor could subvert the strong but fragile structures that have survived for 250 years.18 of the Supreme Court’s Most Discussed Cases. These cases are not all-inclusive, but represent the magnitude and frequency of crucial decisions made by the Supreme Court and how they affect our lives still. Decisions include the infamous Dred Scott case, Plessy vs. Ferguson, Miranda vs. Arizona, Bush vs. Gore, Citizens United, Obergefell vs. Ohio, and much more. Features online resources to check individual registration status and to register to vote online or in person.
