    About this ebook

    The history teacher and YouTuber examines cases from U.S. Supreme Court history and how they affect the lives of everyday Americans.

    The real democracy of America unveiled. What does the Supreme Court do? Sure, people care when the court makes a big ruling, but most don’t pay attention to the court’s day-to-day decisions. In this highly relevant law book, Mr. Beat takes you on a journey through our Supreme Court system, what it is, who is in it and how they got to be there, while foreshadowing how it shapes our very future. 

    A tour of the most influential cases in history. Inspired by Mr. Beat’s court series, The Power of Our Supreme Court walks through many Supreme Court cases from the landmark ones to the more obscure. He explains how each case affects us to this day in a way that is engaging, applicable, and easy to understand, even for beginners.

    Inside, you’ll find:

    ·       Detailed explanations of the Supreme Court, how it works, and how it affects you

    ·       A Supreme Court cases book perfect for anyone interested in social science, political science, activism, law, or current events

    ·       Interesting visuals, charts, and graphs to help contextualize and breakdown the historical significance of big and small cases

     If you like courtroom books, legal books for lawyers, or books on politics like The Shadow Docket, How Civil Wars Start, The Color of Law, or The Flip Side of History, you’ll love Mr. Beat’s The Power of Our Supreme Court.

     

    Praise for The Power of Our Supreme Court

     

    “If you don’t know much about the Supreme Court but would like to, this is where you should start. Matt takes the starch out of the legal process and delivers an approachable summary of an institution we should all be well-versed on.”—Dave Farina, a.k.a. “Professor Dave,” author of Is This Wi-Fi Organic?

     

    “Matt is one of the most popular American history YouTubers for a reason: few can compete with his depth of knowledge and clear and engaging style of communication. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking an explanation for how and why so much of American politics has come to revolve around a small handful of decisions made by a small handful of judges.”—J.J. McCullough
