v. Maryland and Cohens v. Virginia. Is it plausible to conclude

of state legislatures than of Congress? Why, or why not? What do
these opinions suggest about Marshall’s vision of the Supreme
Court’s role in the young Republic? 2. Explain how Baker v. Carr
and Shaw v. Reno, which are viewed as landmarks in establishing a
cause of action under the Fourteenth Amendment, are analogous. With
what objections from dissenters did Justices Brennan and O’Connor
have to contend in their respective majority opinions? 3. What is
your opinion on state and federal financial aid to parochial and
religious-based schools and universities? 4.Contrast the role of
religion in public schools with the role of religion in
government-run military academies, such as the Air Force Academy.

Myers v. United States (1926) and Humphrey’s Executor v. United

not?Your response should be at least 200 words in length. You are
