10 of the 12 rights remained after Congress revised them. These became the Bill of Rights.

These conventions were held to discuss the method of ratification. Concerns were shared about the absence of the Bill of Rights.

No Child Left Behind
Brown vs. Board of Education
On May 17, 1954, the phrase, "separate but equal" was claimed as unconstitutional. This meant that for all children, no matter their race, school would be available to all.
Previously known as, The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) from 1965, No Child Left Behind was put in place to hold schools/states responsible for the academic progress of their students. All students, such as ELL and special education, would and should be mirroring their peers performance. Any states who did not focus on the progress of their students performances risked loosing federal Title I funding.
Title IX
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (1965)
In 1972, Title IX was brought forth to provide equality based on their sex. In the education realm, no students should be denied any program or assistance based on gender.
The following four slides are historical events that changed the Constitution and, as a result, affected education.
According to "American Psychological Association" (2016), "The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) ensures that all children with disabilities are entitled to a free appropriate public education to meet their unique needs and prepare them for further education, employment, and independent living".

Due to the economic hardships/wars over the previous years, farmers, who could not pay their debts, began to rebel against their local government. This group, whom was led by Danial Shay, began taking over local courts and prevented them from working. By causing the government system to falter, this was proof that the nation's government needed to be addressed.

Early Court
The Least Dangerous Branch
During this time frame (late 1700's-1801), there were few changes/decisions made in the early years of the court. The 11th Amendment was adopted to enact that states may be liable in federal court.
Federal Authority Expands
During this time frame (1865-1874), Salmon P. Chase was chief justice. Many national events happened during this time frame: civil war ended, slavery abolished, and the strength as a nation rather than individual states arose. Many ratifications were made to amendments based on the reconstruction and changes with slavery, equal protection, and having legislation do their job. These ratifications would take a very long time for 'the people' to be on board.
Expanding Individual Rights
During this time frame (1953-1969), Earl Warren was the chief justice. He was known for protecting individual rights. Constitutional Law was broadened during this era: the invalidation of the separate but equal doctrine, finding that privacy is protected by the constitution, the establishment of the first amendment, and enhancing protection of the rights of persons accused of crimes. These are just a few to name how much constitutional laws were changed and/or created.
Protecting Commercial Interests
During this time frame (1874-1930), there were five chief justices. The courts philosophy changed based on each man and their opinion of federalism. The main laws that changed are: regulating interstate commerce (setting working laws) and changing the 14th Amendment to protect the rights of black citizens (Plessy vs. Ferguson & Brown vs. Board of Edu.).
Protecting States' Rights
During this time frame (1972-2005), many older chief justices retired which meant we would gain new, younger replacements. Some of the more important federalism cases were about limiting Congress's power over interstate commerce, term limits on US Congress members, and that women have a privacy right to elect abortions in some situations.
A Moderate Approach
During this time frame (1969-1972), there were 5 chief justices, plus 3 replacements. This era was very conservative in not reversing many laws from the previous eras. Very important decisions were made during this time frame: the rights of racial minorities and the rights of women. The first woman to join the court justice was in 1981.
State Rights
During this time frame (1836-1865), Roger Taney remained for only one year. Eight other justices were pointed during this time. The philosophy changed drastically to strongly favoring states' rights during this time. The court was not aggressive in changes or reversals from the past two eras. Concerns were brought up about the balance of power between national and state governments. Legal changes, during this time, was that slavery was an issue of local, not national, interest.
Expanding Federal Authority
During this time frame (1930-1953), as a nation, we endured the Great Depression. Franklin D. Roosevelt was our master in chief whom opted for many economically stimulating programs for the people. The court had many unpopular decisions that did not line up with Roosevelt's New Deal Plan. Because of these unpopular decisions, Roosevelt reacted by creating the "court-packing" plan. For every man over the age of 70, the court would add another justice. Roosevelt gained the power and favor he needed to have the swing vote to divide the court. This was a very scary time for the history of our courts.
Expanding Federal Authority
During this time frame (1801-1836), John Marshall was chief justice of the U.S. Many known important decisions were established during 'Marshall Court':
the power of congress, division of authority between national government and state government, and the power of judicial review was established.
