The SCOTUS did not rule that T.L.O’s 4th amendment (searches and seizures) rights had been violated. They ruled that the school administrations search of the bag was reasonable under the circumstances (i.e T.L.O. Being a minor and on school property, meaning that while at school, administration is responsible for the well-being and safety of all students, thus allowing them to search T.L.O’s bag for marijuana). A good way to think of it is that while you’re at school, the administration acts as your parents. Your parents don’t need a warrant to search through your room and neither does the administration if you are on school property. The 4th amendment applies to this case because it protects against unlawful searches and seizures (i.e. searches and seizures that are without a warrant). The constitutional question was whether or not T.L.O. Could be charged with a crime/punished or not because the school administration did not have a warrant. However, because the school administration was acting as a loco parentis (latin term for “in place of the parent”) they did not need a warrant to search her bag. Hope this helped!

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Some ways people can ensure that their rights are not restricted by the government include;

1. Active participation in political activities such as voting.

2. Preventing the formation of a one-party system.

3. Defending institutions like the courts against governmental intimidation.

4. Peaceful protests when their rights are breached.

5. Holding lawmakers, and representatives accountable when important decisions are to be made.

6. Patriotism and incorruptibleness in their individual positions.

Explanation:

Some governments that were instituted for the people turn against their citizens and restrict their rights. There are several ways in which citizens can prevent the government from restricting their rights. Some of them include;

1. Active participation in political activities: This will make the will of the people to be reflected in the daily activities of the government.

2. Preventing the formation of a one-party system: Most tyrannical governments begin by silencing the voice of their opposition thus making them the only existing and controlling party.

3. Defending institutions like the courts: Tyrannical governments sometimes intimidate or bribe judges to execute their will. The judges and citizens must resist all such efforts.

4. Peaceful protests: When their rights are breached, citizens should use legal measures or peaceful protests to register their displeasure.

5. Holding representatives accountable: When lawmakers pass bills that are not suitable for the people, their ward members should resist such moves.

6. Patriotism and incorruptibleness: Tyrannical governments thrive in corrupt societies. Citizens must be patriotic and incorruptible at every level that they find themselves.
