Law
1 answer:
Fynjy0 [20]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

- The mugging of the police officer: purposeful

- The theft/disappearance of the fingerprints: knowing or negligent

- The arson: purposeful or reckless

Explanation:

Mens rea means "a guilty mind" as is required to prove a crime, along with actus reus (the criminal act). A purposeful mens rea means a crime was intentionally commited. A negligent mens rea is the failure to do what a reasonable person would do. A knowing mens rea means the potential result of a criminal act (such as lending a gun to someone who intends to shoot another person). A reckless mens rea increases risk to others, like driving under the influence.

Together, actus reus and mens rea form the corpus delicti or, both the criminal act and guilty mind.

Ede4ka [16]

In the context of dual regulation of subject matters, state law must fall under the supremacy clause and the commerce clause when

  • The subject matter is unconstitutional

<h3>What is Supremacy?</h3>

This means that one thing or one arm of government takes precedence over certain matters regarding the state based on the powers given to them by the Constitution.

With this in mind, we can see that with dual regulation where the subject matter is regulated by both the state and federal governments, the state law must fall under the Supremacy Clause and the Commerce Clause when the subject matter is unconstitutional.

When did the u. S. Supreme court first use judicial review to overthrow federally-enacted law?.
erma4kov [3.2K]

The U. S. Supreme court first use judicial review to overthrow federally-enacted law in 1803.

The very first Supreme Court case in which the Court asserted its jurisdiction to declare a legislation unconstitutional was Marbury v. Madison, which was decided in 1803. Chief Justice John Marshall concluded his opinion in this case by stating that the Supreme Court's obligation to strike down unconstitutional legislation was an essential outgrowth of their oath of office, which required them to uphold the Constitution in accordance with Article Six of the Constitution.

As of 2014, the US Supreme Court had declared 176 US Congress Acts to be unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has ruled 483 legislation to be wholly or partially unconstitutional between 1960 and 2019.

Who supports judicial restraint?
balu736 [363]

Judicial restraint is the political theory that says courts shouldn't, unless absolutely required, issue rulings that broaden or alter the character of existing laws.

<h3>Justiciable constraint is exercised by whom?</h3>

A jurist (judge or justice) who upholds a philosophy of restraint can be described as one who considers democracy to have intrinsic, rather than just instrumental, value, that the judiciary is indeed the least powerful of the three branches of government, and who values stability and predictability in the lawmaking process.

<h3>Why do advocates of judicial restraint assert that judges are impervious to public sentiment?</h3>

They are freed from the strain of the outer world of public opinion since they do not have to worry about being reelected. In the end, the majority may not always be correct. The fact that the Founders established appointed judges and elected legislators is not by coincidence.
