Question

Brown v Ohio: what is the issue of this case?

Answer 1

Answer:

Brown v. Ohio is the case of the Double Jeopardy Clause ruled by the Supreme Court of the US on June 16, 1977.

Explanation:

"Brown v Ohio" is a landmark case in the history of the Supreme Court of the United States. In this case, Nathaniel Brown stole a Chevrolet an East Cleveland and was caught nine days later by Wickliffe officials. He was charged with 'joyriding' by Wickliffe officials and sentenced to jail for one month with a penalty of $100. After his release, he went to East Cleveland, where he was again caught and convicted of the same. Brown, then, pleaded the Double jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment in the Supreme Court, where the courts reversed the Appalette court's decision.
