Your answers are correct. Let's break down each case to explain the reasoning behind the answers:
A. Westside v. Mergens - This case established that schools must allow religious groups the same opportunities as other groups in extracurricular programs. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the student who wanted to organize a Christian group within the school. So the answer is C.
B. Texas v. Johnson - This case dealt with freedom of speech. The Supreme Court found that burning the US flag is protected symbolic speech under the First Amendment's right to free speech. The Texas statute that prohibited flag desecration was ruled unconstitutional. So the answer is F.
C. Roe v. Wade - This case established that a woman's reproductive rights, including the decision to have an abortion, are protected as part of the right to privacy. It set the precedent for abortion cases and made government regulation of abortions within the first trimester illegal. So the answer is A.
D. Bethel v. Fraser - This case dealt with free speech in schools. The Supreme Court upheld the school's authority to discipline a student for using lewd or obscene language. It established schools' ability to limit free speech to some extent in order to promote a positive learning environment. So the answer is G.
E. Dennis v. U.S. - Your answer is correct. This case upheld the Smith Act, which allowed the government to arrest members of the Communist Party based on the idea of a clear and probable danger. So the answer is E.
F. Lemon v. Kurtzman - This case established a three-part test for determining whether the separation of church and state has been violated. The Supreme Court overturned a Pennsylvania statute that allowed a school superintendent to purchase supplies and services from a parochial school. The case dealt with the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. So the answer is D.
G. Wallace v. Jaffree - This case struck down Alabama statutes that encouraged "voluntary" prayer/meditation in schools because it violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The Supreme Court found all related Alabama statutes unconstitutional. So the answer is B.
So the correct order is C (A. Westside v. Mergens), F (B. Texas v. Johnson), B (C. Roe v. Wade), G (D. Bethel v. Fraser), E (E. Dennis v. U.S.), D (F. Lemon v. Kurtzman), and A (G. Wallace v. Jaffree).
