Society of Sisters, which invalidated a successful 1922 Oregon initiative requiring compulsory public education, Griswold v. Connecticut, where a right to privacy was first established explicitly, Roe v.

Texas, which struck down a Texas sodomy law and thus eliminated state powers to enforce laws against sodomy.
