Question #1
This conflict is enduring and is reflected in many decisions made by courts in general and the United States Supreme Court in particular. In
your essay of 400 words, please examine and evaluate this conflict between individual rights on the one hand and the right to ensure the
public order on the other. How has the United States Supreme Court addressed these issues (check the Chapter) and what should be the
standard, if one is possible, to ensure the rights of the people while preserving the rule of law and public order? How would you approach
this issue knowing what you do about the Constitution, rule of law and individual liberties
Question #2
Essay Question (400 words):Since the 1960s, civil rights protection has expanded well beyond racial discrimination as evidenced by Jim
Crow segregation and the subsequent fight for equal protection of the law for all.
What others groups in America were inspired by the Civil Rights Movement seeking protections and equal treatment under the law? What
have been some of the notable effects of this “universalization of civil rights” as explained in the Chapter? Examine some (if any) of the
differences between protections against racial discrimination and other types of discrimination such as those based on gender or other
characteristics as the United States Supreme Court just recently decided regarding marriage rights under the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution.
