14th Amendment Due Process Clause Case Study

He explains how these kids are “left without help or hope.” This means that juveniles who get sentenced to life in prison do not have the opportunity to educate themselves, rehabilitate, or enjoy life again. They are simply existing inside four walls that separate them from the real world. This is not a proper punishment for juveniles. They do not learn or change when they are sentenced to life without parole.

The 14th Amendment meant no state can make or support any laws that take away the rights of U.S. citizen equal protection under the laws. To understand the intent and purpose of the 14th Amendment, one must analyze the language closely.

He also spoke on the phone with respondent’s wife and mother. He attempted once, unsuccessfully to meet with them; however, he did not follow up a second time. Additionally, the counsel did not seek out additional character witnesses for respondent. The counsel’s conversations with his client led him to believe he did not need to request a psychiatric examination because he did not believe the respondent had psychological problems. In a state of hopelessness, the counsel decided not to present nor look for further evidence concerning respondent’s character and emotional state, because he believed it would not overcome the evidentiary effect of the respondent’s confessions to the crimes.

In Document E no one has any memories of color which is one of the reasons of why Jonas was so upset about because since there was no color in the community people couldn’t decide. This also builds on the idea that people have no freedom because they don’t even get memories of color, they don’t get memories of feelings, they don’t get memories of anything besides what the community lets them know. The idea of them having no memories is also told in Document B where the Giver tells Jonas how he has to hold all of the painful memories and soon he will to. The other people in the community have no idea of any of these memories and sure some of the people who say that this could be good because they are protecting the people from anything painful, but this is also bad because that is the problem without them knowing what hurting yourself is they think they can do most things like jump off of high ledges or other cases where it will end in harm. Since they don’t know what pain is they wouldn’t know what hurts them and they will probably end up living dangerous lives just how they don’t know that release is actually where they kill

“These letters were never delivered and apparently the sender was never sent a notice of the offense. ”(American). On the other hand, in Nicaragua, it is nearly impossible for the government to limit people from having access to any type of information, nor to stop them from expressing personal opinions, since everything is possible with the use of internet. The nicaraguan government censors confidential information from the people, allowing people to only hear a part of the story that does not harm or make them look

(Saxonberg 331) According to, Mc EachErn, North Korea uses particularly cruel repression as a check on ideological decline to keep its hold on power, but it has not shifted to a simple, personalistic rule where repression is the cornerstone of regime

The United States does not have a national system of identification. This is, in part, due to no government office having the jurisdiction or authority to regulate and administer national IDs (G. David Garson, Public Information Technology and E-governance: Managing the Virtual State (Sudbury, MA: Jones & Bartlett Publishers, 2006), 171). Another reason that there is no established system is because of opposition efforts on all sides when a proposal for such a system is made in Congress. An example of this is the REAL ID Act.

Unless prisons are planning on keeping inmates in isolation for their entire sentence, prisons are causing more problems for themselves because of the problems. The aggression and resentment built up by the prisoner towards the prison and other inmates/officers can be detrimental with the flow of prison due to rule breaking and violence (Weir, 2012; Dingfelder, 2012; Constanzo, Martinez, Klebe, Torrence & Livengood, 2012). There are no rehabilitation results from isolation, so whenever a prisoner is sent, they are delaying the obvious problems that will occur once

There are also people called the inspectors of ‘Moral Climates’ who make sure that nobody in the society is reading fictional books. If someone were to break this law, they can be sent to jail. In other words, the society is disapproving of imagination or anything that is fictional. To read fictional stories or anything that encouraged imagination is banned from the society. “Every men, they said, must face reality.

They did not identify with the community around them; There were no schools nearby or parks where the patients could go visit. They had no transportation for the residents living there, in order for the residents to get back and forth to doctors apartments they had to rely on the EMS. The resident not having transportation to move around reflects conflict theory, which states, “ that group in society are engaged in a continuous power struggle for control of scarce resources”(Kirst-Ashamn,2011). Them not having a van to transport patients when needed caused many conflict within that environment. It also means that patients were not able to have events, go out to eat, or the casino; they were limited to staying in the nursing home all day instead of interacting with their environment.

If a natural disaster strikes my area and the power is out for weeks, one of the limitations would be that the people would not feel that safe. Security wouldn't be enforced and since there is no security, there could be several possibilities of theft. Another limitation would be searches for any and everything. Both of these limitations should be practiced, so even if there is a national disaster we could be ready. The 4th amendment can be used as an explanation of how the limits

The relationship between “vagueness” and the due process clause is that the vagueness doctrine is rooted in the due process clauses of both the Fifth and fourteenth Amendments. More specifically, fair notice must be given in relation to what is punishable and what is not, the vagueness doctrine also aids in the prevention of subjective enforcement of the laws ("Vagueness doctrine", n.d.). If there is a constitutional issue in terms vagueness then the void of vagueness doctrine refers to the wording associated with certain statutes that are challenged based on their lack of indistinguishable significance. Simply meaning, certain wording may be unclear and/or indefinite in statues of what exactly may be criminal behavior. In the case of Papachristou
