Pringles Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) I anticipate a fruitful legislative period given all of us share one specific card, however... please someone (if not myself) propose this, and get this passed... Don't let this playtest turn into the... whatever the Hell happened in the old Founding Fathers game @MrPotatoTed did back in 2021.

ebrk85 Posted April 26, 2023 Author Share Posted April 26, 2023 2.5.3 Supreme Court Decisions Points: @Pringles 200 @WVProgressive 100 @DJBillyShakes 50 There are only 4 cases for this era and we managed to fire 3 of them. So don’t except to hear much from the Supreme Court after this half term HAHA McCulloch v. Maryland Does the Necessary and Proper Clause of the Constitution grant to Congress implied powers for implementing the Constitution's express powers? Initial Vote: Aye- 4 (Marshall, Washington, Moore, Paterson) Nay- 2 (Cushing, Chase) No votes swayed. The Ayes have it 4-2 (This is the historical result) 500pts to Wall Street Cohens v. Virginia Are state laws in opposition to national laws void? Initial Vote: Aye- 3 (Cushing, Washington, Paterson) Nay- 3 (Marshall, Moore, Chase) No votes swayed. The case is tied which results in the lower court’s ruling standing. (For game purposes this is randomized) The result is the Nays prevail. (This is an ahistorical result) An existing state's law cannot be overturned by legislation; Only an Amendment can overturn state laws that contradict national laws. 100pts to RW Activists Dartmouth College v. Woodward Does the Contract Clause of the Constitution apply to both public and private corporations? Initial Vote: Aye- 5 Nay- 1 (Moore) No votes swayed. The Ayes have it (This is the historical result) 100pts to Big Corporations 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
