	United States constitutional law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the United States, constitutional law generally refers to the provisions of the United States Constitution, as interpreted by the United States Supreme Court.
		The court later extended this review to relevant state laws—in order, for example, to determine whether a state law conformed to the Contract Clause or (after the Fourteenth Amendment was added) whether a state had violated the Equal Protection Clause.
		The organic law of the United States derives in great part from that of Britain which has vested the power of judicial review in the people since 1215, when the Magna Carta was signed by King John Lackland.

		United States, 276 U.S. So long as Congress "shall lay down by legislative act an intelligible principle to which the person or body authorized to [exercise the delegated authority] is directed to conform, such legislative action is not a forbidden delegation of legislative power." Id., at 409.

	Unfettered Press: Libel Law in the United States
		For the United States, the laws that control libel and slander first began to take shape even before the colonies gained their independence from Britain.
		Libel cases, which are part of civil (rather than criminal) courtroom proceedings, may be heard by juries, and it is up to the jury to decide whether a publication has printed libelous information about someone.
		Typically, these cases are brought by current or former public officials, by entertainers, or by business executives who feel they have been damaged by critical media publicity -- usually accusing or suggesting that the person has engaged in unlawful, improper, or questionable activities.

	FindLaw: United States Case Law: Supreme Court
		Under Pennsylvania law, an illegitimate child must prove paternity before seeking support from his or her father, and a suit to establish paternity ordinarily must be brought within six years of an illegitimate child's birth.
		Aetna Casualty and Surety Co., 406 U.S. Yet, in the seminal case concerning the child's right to support, this Court acknowledged that it might be appropriate to treat illegitimate children differently in the support context because of "lurking problems with respect to proof of paternity."

		It cannot be said as a matter of law that an 8% risk of transmitting a dread and fatal disease to one's child does not represent a substantial limitation on reproduction.
		I therefore as- sume this to be the case, and proceed to the second and third statutory requirements for "disability." According to the Court, the next question is "whether reproduction is a major life activity." Ante, at 11.
		24, and the United States as amicus curiae, Brief for United States as Amicus Curiae 13, argue that reproduc- tion must be a major life activity because regulations is- sued under the ADA define the term "physical impair- ment" to include physiological disorders affecting the reproductive system.

	FindLaw: United States Case Law: Supreme Court
		In 1980, appellant filed a paternity and child support petition in a Pennsylvania court on behalf of her 7-year-old daughter, who had been born out of wedlock, alleging that appellee was the natural father and had ceased making contributions to the daughter's support in 1975.
		The court held that the action was barred under the state statute of limitations, which then required that paternity actions be commenced within six years of the child's birth or within two years of the putative father's last voluntary support contribution or written acknowledgment of paternity.
		Because Pennsylvania should have an opportunity in the first instance to resolve this issue of state law, and because we are reluctant to address a federal constitutional question until it is clearly necessary to do so, we vacate the judgment below and remand for further consideration in light of the intervening change in state law.

		Washington State had made "repeated assurances" that it would appeal, and we take judicial notice that the State recently did file an appeal after its motion for reconsideration was denied.
		Inner Sound argues that one reason for its late motion was the State's emergency closure of the crab fishery in February 1995, implying that the "premature" closure prompted its motion to intervene one month later.
		Reliance before the substantive decision on the state was a reasonable justification for delaying the motion to intervene until afterward, as we held in Yniguez v.

		This case does not require a judgment on whether laws against sodomy between consenting adults in general, or between homosexuals in particular, are wise or desirable.
		It raises no question about the right or propriety of state legislative decisions to repeal their laws that criminalize homosexual sodomy, or of state-court decisions invalidating those laws on state constitutional grounds.
		The latter three cases were interpreted as construing the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to confer a fundamental individual right to decide whether or not to beget or bear a child.

		Oncale filed a complaint against Sundowner in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, alleging that he was discriminated against in his employment because of his sex.

		Because we conclude that sex discrimination consisting of same-sex sexual harassment is actionable under Title VII, the judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit is reversed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
