Unit III Research Paper Topic

Below is a list of six topics from which you may choose one to write about. Each topic addresses a major Supreme Court case concerning a specific amendment to the United States Constitution and a leading case relating to that amendment. All these areas will be covered during the course, and you can find a lot of material in your textbook, but you will be expected to go into greater depth using at least three sources on the topic (one of which can be your textbook). Use these sources to discuss the history of this area of law, how your case changed the law in this area, current trends, and your conclusions about the area of law.

Topics to write on are:

• The change in the Second Amendment right to bear arms since United States v. Miller (1939)
• The change in the Fifth Amendment right to remain silent since Miranda v. Arizona (1966)
• The change in Fourth Amendment stop and frisk law since Terry v. Ohio (1968)
• The change in the Fourth Amendment law of warrantless search of a vehicle incident to arrest since New York v Beltron (1981)
• The change in Fourth Amendment exclusionary rule since Mapp v. Ohio (1961)
• The change in Eighth Amendment cruel and unusual punishment standards in death penalty cases since Furman v. Georgia (1972)

Your assignment for this unit will be to choose one of these above topics and write a short paragraph telling your instructor which topic you have chosen and why you decided to choose this particular area of law. Please include the sources at the bottom of your paragraph that you intend to use.
