Marbury v. Madison
This case involved the Judiciary Act of 1789. The Supreme Court declared that the law

wherein the Supreme Court has the power to declare laws passed by Congress and signed by the
president to be unconstitutional.

Grsiwold v. Connecticut
Although several state constitutions do list the right to privacy as a protected right, the explicit
recognition by the Supreme Court of a right to privacy in the U.S. Constitution emerged only in
the middle of the twentieth century. In this 1965 case, the court spelled out the right to privacy
for the first time in a case that struck down a state law forbidding even married individuals to use
any form of contraception.
