Freedom of the Press & the Second Amendment | Two Landmark Supreme Court Cases

This video explains two important Supreme Court cases that helped shape civil liberties in the United States: New York Times Co. v. United States and McDonald v. Chicago. First, the video discusses how the Court protected freedom of the press during the Vietnam War when the government tried to stop newspapers from publishing the Pentagon Papers. It then examines how the Court ruled that the Second Amendment right to own a handgun for self-defense applies to state and local governments through the Fourteenth Amendment. Together, these cases demonstrate how the Supreme Court interprets the Constitution, balances liberty and government power, and expands civil liberties through the process of selective incorporation.
