People suspected of committing a crime in the United States are afforded certain rights such as protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, protection against self-incrimination, the right to counsel, and protection against cruel and unusual punishment. Discuss the role of the Supreme Court in the interpretation and enforcement of one of these rights.
What will be an ideal response?
Each of these rights and the manner in which the Court has interpreted them is controversial. Responses should provide specific examples of cases handled by the Court as well as articulate the obstacles they faced as they rendered their interpretations.
