    Morrison V. Olsen's Case Summary

    In Morrison v. Olsen, the issue of the Independent Counsel Provision in the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 was challenged and the court decided that it was not unconstitutional because it did not violate the separation of powers by taking power from the Executive and giving more to the Judicial or Legislative branches. Alexia Morrison had been appointed as the independent counsel to investigate Morrison to see if he had violated federal law; he sued her arguing that the Independent Counsel had taken away powers from the executive. The majority held that Morrison was an “inferior officer” due to the ability of the Attorney General to remove her for “good cause”, she can only perform certain limited duties, she is limited in jurisdiction, and…

    Dred Scott V. Sanford Case Analysis

    In the years leading up to the Civil War, the constitution did not provide a clear answer for deciding whether or not a slave had the same rights as a person. The federal government faced a divided country, and passed laws enforcing the return of slaves to their owner’s states, such as the Fugitive Slave Act. Contradicting this were “personal liberty laws,” which allowed states to decide who would be considered a person in their territory. However, both the Fugitive Slave Act and “personal liberty laws” were challenged in the Dred Scott v. Sanford case. The ambiguity of the constitution would lead to a four-year-long war between the Northern and Southern states.…

    Dred Scott V. Sandford Case Analysis

    In Dred Scott v. Sandford the case started in 1856 and ended in 1857. “The Supreme Court decided that Americans of African descent, whether free or slave, were not American citizens and could not sue in federal court. The Court also ruled that Congress lacked power to ban slavery in the U.S. territories. Finally, the Court declared that the rights of slaveowners were constitutionally protected by the Fifth Amendment because slaves were categorized as property.” - Alex McBride (McBride 2006, 411). The verdict was unlawful and absurd.…

    Probable Cause And Reasonable Suspicion

    Probable Cause And Reasonable Suspicion

    Probable cause and Reasonable suspicion are two legal terms used in the United States legal system, in this essay I will be comparing and contrasting the two terms as well as providing examples. Probable cause is the level of facts and evidence required to obtain a warrant for, or as an exception to the warrant requirements for, making an arrest or conducting a personal or property search, etc. when criminal charges are being considered. Courts usually find probable cause when there is a reasonable basis for believing that a crime may have been committed (for an arrest) or when evidence of the crime is present in the place to be searched (for a search). Under exigent circumstances, probable cause can also justify a warrantless search or seizure. Persons arrested without a warrant are required to be brought before a competent authority shortly after the arrest for a prompt judicial determination of probable cause. Reasonable suspicion is the legal standard by which a police officer has the right to briefly detain a suspect for investigatory purposes and frisk the outside of their clothing for weapons, but not drugs. While many factors contribute to a police officer’s level of authority in a given situation, the reasonable suspicion standard requires facts or circumstances that would lead a reasonable person to believe that a suspect has, is, or will commit a crime. While reasonable suspicion does not require hard evidence, it does require more than a hunch. A combination of particular facts, even if each is individually insignificant, can form the basis of reasonable suspicion. For example, police may have reasonable suspicion to detain someone who fits a description of a criminal suspect, a suspect who drops a suspicious object after seeing police, or a suspect in a high crime area who runs after seeing police. Probable cause and reasonable suspicion are both governed by the 4th amendment which states “The right of the people to be secure in their persons,…
