US V. Mendenhall (Cause I just took a CRJ test and got the answer wrong cause someone said it was "Chimel V. California" and that's what I put)
Chimel V. California
This case marked the Supreme Court's ruling that not all free speech was guaranteed. Eugene Dennis was a Communist. He had claimed his speeches advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government were guaranteed by the 1st Amendment. The Supreme Court decided otherwise, stating that you have no protection under the law if you advocate the overthrow of the government.
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the ruling of the Illinois Supreme Court that considered the planned Skokie march by the National Socialist Party of America to be a matter of free speech. Thus, the National Socialist Party of America was allowed to march in Skokie and use the swastika as a symbol during their march. (Ultimately, no march was held in Skokie, rather in surrounding neighborhoods). Correction: Skokie case never reached the U.S. Supreme Court. It was considered the "easy case" because precedent from past 1st Amendment issues would have easily overturned the Illinois State Supreme Court ruling

There are two excellent sources for locating the US Supreme Court's opinions and decisions. Justia Beta has a searchable database of all cases, by year or by volume, from 1791 to the present. The Supreme Court maintains updated records on slip opinions for the current Term that may be too new for Justia's database.Other sites, such as FindLaw and Oyez are also excellent resources, but I prefer Justia because they have logged the concurring and dissenting opinions for most cases, along with the Court decision, which helps the reader understand both sides of a case.Despite criticism often directed at it, Wikipedia is also a good site for information on cases from the Supreme Court. The articles for most cases are quite detailed, and include the details of the case, background, decision and opinions of the Court, related cases, and several other areas of importance.

The US Supreme Court decision on the Dred Scott case resulted in the court making it clear that Scott could not be a free man and denied his case to be free of his slavery status. The Court declared that Scott was not a US citizen, and thus could not sue for his freedom.

The Dred Scott case, 1857
In Dred Scott, the U.S. Supreme Court held that African Americans, whether enslaved or free, could not be American citizens and therefore had no standing to sue in federal court.

I believe it was called, Dred Scott.
The Supreme Court declared Scott was a free man
The famous US Supreme Court case where the slave sued for his freedom was in the Dred Scott case. He was with his master traveling when they traveled into a free state; because they were in a free state, Scott believed he was a free man and sued for his freedom. The court however disagreed, saying that Scott was his masters property and he was not free, even in a free state. This gave people in the south an opportunity to go find their runaway slaves because they were by law, still their property.

It shows that the Supreme Court can set new rules for free speech if the Court feels circumstances require it. -Apex 4.1.4
The Supreme court impacted the desegregation of public by giving them free rights and get them educated!
The Supreme Court did not issue a ruling specifically regarding the Sedition Act. However, in the case of New York Times Co. v. Sullivan (1964), the Court expanded First Amendment protections for free speech, which indirectly limited the Sedition Act's application. The Sedition Act was repealed in 1921.
