Description
Encourage teens to recognize the importance of voting and making their voices heard in the democratic process with this timely book focused on 15 Supreme Court decisions that came down to a single vote. Chapters examine key Supreme Court rulings and explore how these cases have affected the lives and rights of U.S. citizens—especially teens. The authors take a close look at often controversial cases and at the history of voting in the United States. The emphasis is involvement in local and national elections as well as other ways to be an engaged citizen. Cases include Evan Miller v. Alabama, regarding the sentencing of juvenile offenders ; Goss v. Dwight Lopez , about students ’ right to due process; and United States v. Antoine Jones, about GPS monitoring and the right to privacy.
