The US Supreme Court hears a very limited number of cases every year, both civil and criminal. Why do you think they limit the n

umber of cases? Remember, they are the final say in all matters legal—do you think this has anything to do with it? Explain your reasoning.

Explanation:

Current trends in the United States show strong support for capital punishment.  In the last 20 years, support for the death penalty has never dropped below 57 percent in opinion polls. In a few polls, it has reached as high as 80 percent. During the 1990s, two states (New York and Kansas) decided to reinstate the death penalty, while no state abolished it. The death penalty has broad popular support.

Any death-penalty law and case must meet constitutional standards. The Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution forbids “cruel and unusual punishments.” The Fifth and 14th amendments require “due process of law.” The 14th Amendment also promises “equal protection of the laws.” The Sixth Amendment guarantees every defendant a fair trial. Any defendant can appeal a death sentence on these or other grounds. Appeals courts scrutinize death-penalty cases to make sure proper procedures and constitutional standards have been followed.

The highest appeals court is the U.S. Supreme Court. This court has the final say on matters of U.S. constitutional law. It has made several landmark rulings on death-penalty cases.

Discuss the reliability of the analytical scientist in the quart room.
ValentinkaMS [17]

1)They are very reliable because they are almost always accurate.All science in the courtroom has to be verified in order to be used in the court to prove that their tests are accurate and reliable and can be used as an evidence in court. Reliability is measured by how much your machines have been validated ,if a forensic scientist in a court say the evidence is true but did not have a proper reliability , than people can question how true this test can actually be. Hard science is consisted of chemistry,biology and physics are the most reliable evidence.

2)The reliability of the analytical science in the courtroom is growing. This is because of the fact that analytical science involves comparison between the characteristics and features of the suspected specimens with those obtained from the criminals or victims. The analytical science plays an important role in proving a fact that a crime has been committed, the place of crime and establishing the identity of the culprit.

Schach [20]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The 14th Amendment is an amendment to the constitution of the United States of America and it addresses the issue of civil and legal rights for the African American citizens and slaves who had gained freedom after the American Civil War. The 14th Amendment is made up of the clause known as the equal protection of the laws.

An equal protection is a clause that states and guarantees that no state and local governments shall make or enforce any law which would contravene the privileges, rights or immunities of all persons born or naturalized in the United States of America.

Simply stated, the equal protection guarantees that all citizens will be treated equally by the law. Also, the equal protection clause took effect in the United States of America in 1868.
