Answer:

Crimes must generally be proved "beyond a reasonable doubt", whereas civil cases are proved by lower standards of proof such as "the preponderance of the evidence" which essentially means that it was more likely than not that something occurred in a certain way. There are different standards in different circumstances. For example, in criminal cases, the burden of proving the defendant's guilt is on the prosecution, and they must establish that fact beyond a reasonable doubt. In civil cases, the plaintiff has the burden of proving his case by a preponderance of the evidence.

Mapp v. Ohio Case: Do you agree with the Court’s decision in the Mapp case? Give reasons for your answer.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

What the officers did was unconstitutional and violated the 4th amendment.  Weeks v. United States established the Exclusionary Rule in 1914. At the time the exclusionary rule was only applied for federal courts instead of all courts. In 1949, Wolf v. Colorado, the High Court ruled that the Exclusionary Rule did not apply to the State but the Fourth Amendment did. In 1961, Mapp v. Ohio, the High Court ruled that the exclusionary rule applies to the state level as well as the federal. Justice Clark said this perfectly, "Thus the State, by admitting evidence unlawfully seized, serves to encourage disobedience to the Federal Constitution which it is bound to uphold....... Nothing can destroy a government more quickly than its failure to observe its own laws, or worse, its disregard of the charter of its own existence."

otez555 [7]

Answer:

  1. How has the government's work been in my community?
  2. How has the current government administration affected the essential factors of my life?
  3. How has the government managed the social issues that involve me and that involve other people?
  4. How is the economy of my region and the country as a whole being managed?
  5. How is education and security in my region and the country as a whole?

Explanation:

For a government to be considered good and efficient, it must be evaluated in relation to the social and economic elements of each community that makes up the country, region or community. For that, it is necessary to ask questions that make direct use of these factors, which are the biggest responsibility in a region, therefore, the questions that you can ask to assess the quality of the government should be directed to issues of education, trade, security, rights civil and social, protection of minorities, issues related to the use and management of the region's resources, infrastructure, among others.
