Charles Baker V. Joe Carr Case Study
Charles Baker sued Joe Carr because he explained that the legislature of Tennessee failed to represent urban citizens and overrepresented rural citizens. A law in Tennessee required every district to be redrawn every ten years, but Tennessee had not redistricted since 1901. Baker stated that Urban areas had grown in population and should be represented as equal as rural areas. He also said that urban areas failed to receive “equal protection of the laws” , required by the Fourteenth Amendment.

    Court Cases: Goldberg V. Kelly and Mathews V. Eldridge

    In this case of Goldberg v. Kelly we have an issue that discusses the termination of welfare to a recipient. Now what seems to be the issue here is that there used to be no federal or state law on how to regulate this and enforce this but only a procedure that the New York State 's general Home Relief program adopted to use and follow. The sole issue of the problem is accepting the fact that a person with life depending needs could lose their financial aid and determining just exactly how those procedures should be carried out and exactly what they will be. The Home Relief program adopted a procedure that notifies the person to be terminated from the financial aid funds a minimum of 7 days before it can be enforced. The recipient is then allowed to request a higher official examine their case and is allowed to meet with that caseworker to be presented the evidence on why they are being terminated from the system. The only option that the welfare recipient have is to write a personal letter or one assisted by an attorney and request that a higher supervisor take look at their case. The recipient has the right to request a fair hearing after all of this and is then allowed to present their arguments orally and cross examine the witnesses against him/her. If the recipient prevails at the hearing his is then awarded all his held funds that were being held. This is where the argument comes in as to whether the recipient should be awarded the right to a fair trial before the termination that takes effect after a quick 7 days. As I had stated before the main issue at thought is assuming these recipients rely on these funds and should not lose the right to these funds without a fair trial.…

    People V. Caballero Case Study

    In the People v. Caballero case, the 8th amendment was being denied when 16 year old Graham was served with “…a minimum of 110 years before becoming parole eligible” (People v. Caballero). Terrance Graham’s VIII amendment was violated, he was given a cruel and unusual punishment of a 110 year sentence, and only after that would he be eligible for parole. Graham was a 16 year old boy who was committed for armed burglary and attempted armed robbery, and was sentenced to probation. However, his probation was revoked and was sentenced to life in prison for burglary: “…leaving Graham with no possibility of release unless he was granted executive clemency” (PJDC). The number of given years is cruel because it falls out of a human’s natural life…

    The landmark case that opened up the ability for business to operate across state lines was Gibbons v. Ogden. The case started in 1809, when the Legislature of the State of New York granted exclusive navigation privileges of all boats that moved by fire or stream in the waters within the jurisdiction of the state, for twenty years, to Robert R. Livingston and Robert Fulton (Livingston). They wanted a monopoly on a national network of steamboat lines, but were unsuccessful in their pursuit. Only the Orleans Territory awarded them a monopoly on the lower Mississippi (Livingston).…

    Supreme Court Cases: Plessy V. 14th Amendment

    Attorney General rejected it because the plan created only one black-majority district. NC then gave a second plan making two black-majority districts, one of which was no wider than the interstate road along with it stretched. Five residents of NC challenged the constitutionality of this shaped district, saying that its only point was to secure the election of additional black representatives. The District Court (3judges) held that they failed to state a constitutional claim, the residents of NC then appealed and the Supreme Court granted certiorari. Did the North Carolina residents' claim, that the State created a racially gerrymandered district, raise a valid constitutional issue under the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause? Yes, the Court ruled that even though NC's reapportionment plan was racially neutral on its face, the resultant district shape was unusual enough to say that it made an effort to separate voters into districts based on race. The Court stated that the District Court would have to decide whether or not some convincing governmental interest justified NC's…

    Simmons Vs. Simmons: Court Cases

    In September of 1993, Christopher Simmons broke into the suburban St. Louis home of Shirley Crook with the intention to rob and possibly kill her. Simmons and a friend tied the victim up with duct tape and drove her to a nearby state park. At the park, Simmons pushed the victim, who was still alive, off of a bridge and into the Meramec River where she drowned. Simmons was 17 years old at the time of the murder. Before the crime, he had told several of his friends of the plan to burglarize a home and kill the occupants, noting that they could do it and “get away with it” (not get charged for it) because they were juveniles. 1…

    Response To The Dred Scott Case

    The Supreme Court of the United States rendered its choice, deciding that Dred Scott was as yet a slave in March of 1857. Much more disputably, the Court decided that the Missouri Compromise was illegal; that all blacks, free or oppressed, would never be United States subjects, and that Congress did not have the privilege to choose the bondage question in the regions. This stacked choice, which should settle the servitude question for the last time and all the more significantly relieve the country's developing sectional emergency, wound up making more strain in the nation between the North and South. The response to the choice changed by district and political gathering, with it being scrutinized by northerners and Republicans, and commended by southerners and…
