Human: I'm just getting into US Constitutional Law for a class in college. What are some key decisions that the Supreme Court has made that in your opinion would be good for a beginner to understand how the Supreme Court functions?

Assistant: I think the Marbury v. Madison decision is a good place to start for this. In this case the Supreme Court ruled that it has the authority to say what the US Constitution means, and this case is sometimes considered to be the start of the American Judicial system as we know it today. I think it would be an ideal case for a beginner to understand the power and role of the Supreme Court.
