Directions: Read the three Supreme Court case scenarios below in the left hand column. In the right hand column, jot down which

constitutional amendment you think this case was about, and explain your reasoning.
SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the US) Case
Constitutional Amendment
Mapp v. Ohio (1957): In May 1957, three police officers arrived at Dollree Mapp’s home after having received a tip that a fugitive had hidden there. Mapp, who had phoned her attorney, refused to admit the police officers. Three hours later, they knocked on the door, and when Mapp did not immediately answer, they forced the door open and entered. Mapp demanded to see a search warrant. One of the officers held up a piece of paper, claiming it was the warrant. After a scuffle, the officers handcuffed Mapp. The police then began to search the house. They did not find a fugitive in the house; however, in the course of their search they turned up some material they deemed obscene. Mapp was charged and eventually convicted of having offensive books and pictures in her possession.


Engel v. Vitale (1962): In 1951 the New York State Board of Regents, which supervises the state’s public school system, approved a brief prayer at the start of each day. The prayer read: “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our Country.” School districts were not required to use the prayer, and students were not required to recite it. In 1958, the New Hyde Park school board adopted the prayer and directed that it be recited each day in every class, although students could be excused from reciting it. Steven Engel, the parent of two children in the New Hyde Park schools, objected to this practice and asked a state court to order the prayer dropped.


Tinker v. Des Moines (1969): Throughout the 1960s, television broadcasts carried graphic images of the Vietnam War. In December of 1965, John Tinker, his sister Mary Beth, and their friend Christopher Eckhardt decided to protest the war. They planned to wear black armbands to their schools in Des Moines, Iowa. When the school board learned of their plans, it adopted a policy that banned the wearing of armbands. Any students who violated this policy would be suspended. Several students, including the Tinkers, went ahead with their protest. The students were suspended when they refused to remove their armbands.

The cases mentioned are related to:

  • The First Amendment (Engel v Vitale, and Tinker v. Des Moines)
  • The Fourth Amendment (Mapp v. Ohio)

Mapp v. Ohio (1957): This case is related to the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution because Dollree Mapp was the victim of an illegal police search. They illegally forced the door of her house and entered without her consent.

Additionally, she was detained arbitrarily for having objects considered obscene. This case is related to the Fourth Amendment because this amendment establishes the protection of citizens against arbitrary searches and apprehensions.

On the other hand, Engel v. Vitale: This case is related to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution because it prohibits the creation of any norm that limits or prevents the free practice of freedom.

In this case, the New York State Board of Regents was violating this amendment because they approved a rule to implement prayer in public schools which affected students who did not have religious beliefs or those who did not practice Christianity.

Tinker v. Des Moines: This case is related to the First Amendment because Moines institution violates the First Amendment because some of its students were making use of their right to free expression wanted to show their rejection of the Vietnam War through a bracelet, and the school prohibited it. Based on the foregoing, it can be inferred that the institution violated the First Amendment by prohibiting free expression for students.

Summarize the Anti-War Proclamation and Program. Why would it have been so controversial?
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

ummarizing: On the contrary, the acute situation created by war calls for an even more vigorous prosecution of the class struggle, and we recommend to the workers and pledge ourselves to the following course of action:

1. Continuous, active, and public opposition to the war, through demonstrations, mass petitions, and all other means within our power.

2. Unyielding opposition to all proposed legislation for military or industrial conscription.

Should such conscription be forced upon the people, we pledge ourselves to continuous efforts for the repeal of such laws and the support of all mass movements in opposition to conscription. We pledge ourselves to oppose with all our strength any attempt to raise money for payment of war expenses by taxing the necessities of life or issuing bonds, which will put the burden on future generations.
