How many of these Ten Landmark U.S.S.C. decisions do you regognize? Do you know the issue involved? The year it was decided? The decision? The story behind the case? The effect of the case?

Dred Scott v. Sanford
Yick Wo v. Hopkins
Pollock v. Farmer's Loan and Trust Co. II
Plessy v. Ferguson
West Coast Hotel v. Parrish
U.S. v. Carolene Products
Brown v. Board of Education

FWIW, I only got 5 of them, and wasn't terribly clear on the years or all the issues involved.
