The Supreme Court that Trump tilted to the right will review abortion, guns, and religion. Here are 5 important cases to watch as the new term begins.

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : They claim that the law is an infringement of the Second Amendment.
59% : The Supreme Court will weigh in on "whether the state's denial of petitioners' applications for concealed-carry licenses for self-defense violated the Second Amendment."
59% : In Maine, some communities do not have public schools, so the state provides tuition assistance for students to attend private schools.
58% : The Supreme Court, which in recent years has protected religious liberties, took up their appeal.
58% : A federal appeals court dismissed Tsarnaev's death sentence last year, saying the judge who presided over the case in 2015 failed to ensure the jurors were not biased against him, calling into question the right to a fair trial under the Sixth Amendment.
54% : Proponents say school choice offers options beyond the traditional public school system, meanwhile critics say it erodes public schools, which most students in the country attend.
45% : In 2018, two families, the Carsons and the Nelsons, wanted to enroll their kids in private schools that offer religious teaching.
44% : That 1973 landmark ruling, Roe v. Wade, legalized abortion until around 24 weeks of pregnancy, the point at which a fetus can survive outside of the womb, otherwise known as viability.
44% : Lower courts struck down the Mississippi statute, ruling that it violates Roe and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the 1992 Supreme Court decision that declared states cannot impose an "undue burden" on abortion rights.
35% : The court will also take up cases involving religious liberty, the death penalty, state secrets, and more.
28% : Last October, President Donald Trump's Justice Department, which restarted federal executions after a 17-year pause, urged the Supreme Court to reinstate Tsarnaev's death penalty.
26% : From abortion to gun laws, the politically divisive cases will illuminate whether or not the court's expanded 6-3 conservative majority decides to dramatically shift the country to the right.
