Explanation:

• Question 13: In Tinker v. Des Moines (1969), the Supreme Court ruled that students do not “shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” Students’ right to protest (as long as it doesn’t disrupt the educational process) was affirmed.
• Question 14: New York Times v. United States (1971), also known as the “Pentagon Papers” case, upheld the principle of freedom of the press. The government tried to prevent the New York Times from publishing classified information about the Vietnam War. The Court held that prior restraint (government censorship before publication) was unconstitutional in this case, meaning the press could publish classified information without improper government restraint (under certain circumstances related to the public’s right - to - know).
• Question 15: Roe v. Wade (1973) was a landmark decision. The Court recognized a woman’s constitutional right to privacy (under the due - process clause of the 14th Amendment) which included the right to have an abortion in the early stages of pregnancy.
