By failing to condemn or even analyze the detectives’ actions, the Grice court paid little heed to the Supreme Court’s principle that “an officer’s leave to gather information is sharply circumscribed when he steps off [public] thoroughfares and enters the Fourth Amendment’s protected areas.” By ruling as it did, the Grice court handed down an overly-generous interpretation of a license’s scope, the implications of which are worrisome to the future of Fourth Amendment protected areas. The events in Grice transpired on Fourth Amendment protected property. In North Carolina, it is generally agreed that driveways, pathways, porches, lawns, and other areas that must be traversed in order to reach the front door of a private house are classified…

Throughout history and even to the present day, the government has made laws that didn’t always please everyone. Laws, taxes, tariffs, bans, they were all created to place boundaries on citizens and even government officials. Some historical court cases violated the rights that citizens obtained in the bill of rights and the constitution. Peaceful resistance, in my opinion, benefits the society more than it causes disruptions.…
Although state laws are important, federal power was more essential for the Supreme Court decisions and the establishment of the primacy of the judiciary in determining the meaning of the Constitution. John Marshall was one of the most influential Supreme Court Chief of Justices in American history. He leaned towards Federalist views and favored a strong government, but most importantly, he established that the Judicial system held a final say whether an issue was constitutional and supported the sovereignty of federal power over state laws. In most of his cases, John Marshall asserted that Federal laws surpass state laws and claimed that the judiciary system of the Supreme Court had the power to state whether the acts of Congress were constitutional.…

Hypothesis: although indefinite sentencing appears to ignore the rights of the individual in favour of the protection of the community; as one item of choice in a raft of sentencing options, it has improved the capacity of the criminal justice system to protect individual rights and keep peace and order in society. The Criminal Justice system is a system of laws and rulings aiming to protect community members and their property. It determines which events causing injury or offence to community members are criminal offences. Criminal offenders may be punished through the law by fines, imprisonment or community service.…
