Instructions: This question measures your thinking skills. 1. Read these Amendments: Fourth Amendment The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Sixth Amendment In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence. Eighth Amendment Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. 2. You learned in Chapter 2 that most of the Bill of Rights is included in Section 1 of the 14th Amendment. See text below: Fourteenth Amendment Section 1 All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. 3. Explain how the Fourth Amendment, the Sixth Amendment, and the 8th Amendment are included in the 14th Amendment. Use the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to support your reasoning. In other words, I expect you to explain/justify how each of these three Amendments (the 4th, the 6th, and the 8th) are tied to the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause.
