Throughout the cycle there were a lot of concepts that was easy to get the hang of and understand completely. The concept about ethics and ethical dilemmas was easy for me to learn because it was a topic that was thought since last year. Last year was the first time we ever started to talk about the ethics and ethical dilemmas that law enforcements go through. Even before that though ethics was a topic that was taught at birth. It is something that people grow up around, so it wasn’t hard for me to get the hang of what was being taught. In addition to ethics and ethical dilemmas being easy for me to get the hang of it was also the death penalty that was easy for me to understand how the system worked which helped me decide if it was something that should be allowed or banned from the country all together. I already knew about the death penalty and how it worked, but once going into details I was able understand it even better.
Although it may be true that the concepts was easy to understand, there is always a concept that a student struggles on. The only concept that I had trouble understanding was the 14th Amendment's due process. Due process was hard for me to understand because I didn’t really understand what exactly due process means. Sometimes I would remember

My teacher has done everything in his power to help the class obtain knowledge of the topic with hardly any problems. Therefore, my teacher has nothing to do in order to help assist in making the concepts easy to master. The reason for this is because the teacher is helping as much as he can. When learning about a certain concept, my teacher would ask the class if we have any questions about the topic. Even before questions are asked my teacher would go into details about the different topics and give examples in order to have a better
Peter Crumans 4th amendments were not violated when he was compelled to show his Facebook page. School officials were trying to protect the wellbeing of their students, therefore trying to get to the bottom of what this tip was about and needed to search the suspected student who after a little persistence began to cooperate. Principal Lyons received an anonymous tip that Peter Curman had posted that he would be conducting a few sales of illegal drugs on school property giving him reasonable suspicion to search the student. In the case of New Jersey vs. T.L.O school officials were able to search a student due to reasonable suspicion for violations on school property, therefore giving principal Lyons justification because he not only received
And, it is not over yet because, in violation of the 14th Amendment Due Process Clause, Solomon did not receive notification of the forfeiture against property where he had an interest. At all times, the government knew that he was incarcerated in either the county or the U.S. Penitentiary. The rules that authorize service of process of notice upon inmates subject to forfeiture via a newspaper publication is not sufficient legal notice because inmates do not have access to receiving or reviewing the notice. Furthermore, the posting of the notice at a local courthouse where they are denied access to view the publication is not legally sufficient notice.
Step 1: Facts of the case This is a case in which the plaintiffs are three long haired young men who were denied the ability to enroll in Tyler Junior College due solely to their hair length violating the schools dress code. One of the plaintiffs is a Vietnam War veteran who had attended the school for a semester the previous year and had caused no difficulties in that time. The school stated that long haired students had been known to cause disruptions in the classroom. It was due to this that the rule regarding hair length was implemented into the schools dress code. Step 2: Question of law presented to the court
The 4th amendment states that the right to privacy should not by violated by conducting unreasonable searches and seizures. In the hudson v. Palmer case, an inmate named Russel Palmer sued Ted Hudson who was an officer at the Virginia prison. Palmer stated that the officer had conducted a shakedown of his locker and cell in the attempt to find hidden contraband. After the search turned out to be unsuccessful, Officer Hudson, then charged Palmer for destroying state property, as they found a ripped pillow case in his cell. Ted Hudson won the case, as the court stated that the right to privacy does not apply within a prison cell.
The act established that companies could not use treasury money to support or dissent someone’s political campaign, and the case decided whether are not this law was against the first and fourteenth amendment . The outcome of the case decided that this law was in fact not against the first or fourteenth amendment because companies could not be regarding as people and therefore did not reserve the same kinds of rights and liberties, such as freedom of speech or equal protection under the law . In the case of McConnell v. Federal Election Committee, the BCRA of 2002 was brought into question and whether or not Congress had the right to limit companies spending of money towards political campaigns, even if it was considered to be soft money and

The Thirteenth Amendment took some time to pass. Johnson really didn’t want blacks to have rights. He did everything in his power to make sure African Americans didn’t have freedom. After slavery was abolished the black codes came up in the summer of 1865 in the South. These codes were basically promoting slavery once again but using a different name.
The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects any person within their jurisdiction of their due process and equal protection. The Equal Protection Clause under the 14th Amendment requires the states to apply their laws equally to any person within their jurisdiction. The equal protection clause aims to provide equal application of the law. It is also crucial to the protection of civil rights. There should be no discrimination in its application.
The Fourteenth Amendment addressed the issue of slaves being legally considered to be “property” because this amendment reaffirmed everyone born in the United States are citizens and therefore should be treated in the same regard in the eyes of the law. This amendment punished the former Confederate states since they were not allowed to return to the Union unless they had ratified this law which was passed to secure freedmen’s rights, something Southern whites hugely opposed.
Reflection # 1: Marbury vs Madison (1803) What is Judicial review? Judicial review is the court's primary check on the legislative and executive branches. In other words, judicial review is a part of the unwritten constitution and grants the power to decide on the constitutionality of congressional laws.
After slavery, African Americans in the south were in a time of change. Though they were free from slavery, whippings, and auctions, I believe life became difficult for them even after slavery ended. Racism began to grow increasingly, as many could not accept the fact that there was no more slavery. It became stricter when the government in the South enforced laws called Black Codes. Those laws were set to grant only certain rights to people of color.
Some people may think that the 14th amendment does a poor job of protecting people’s rights. In document five it explains how on September 11, 2001,with the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, it has caused video surveillance in the United States to increase. For example the U.S has programs that use facial recognition that help match photographs of criminals faces to the criminal. Another program that we use helps prevent suicide bombers from attacking. Some people may think that prevention of terrible events reoccuring or occurring is a good thing, but using security systems everywhere may be a violation of their rights and privacy.

The lesson being taught is to not trying and use unethical means to get things done, and to get things done with intending to hurt the people around
Translating ethics knowledge into behavior is easier than done. To teach students how to be ethical, they should be taught how to reason about situations and follow with action. This process includes eight steps. The first two steps
