Vance V. Terrazas Summary

One of the first activists to focus on the treaty was Reies López Tijerina. Tijerina traveled throughout New Mexico, organizing La Alianza Federal de Mercedes Libres. He organized this organization to “acquaint the heirs of all Spanish land-grants covered by the treaty with their rights” (Bixler-Márquez, Ortega, & Solórzano Torres, 23). Congress killed off Reies López Tijerina major political accomplishments, but the land-grant situation increased public awareness in New Mexico (Bixler-Márquez, Ortega, & Solórzano Torres, 25). Rudolfo Gonzales, leader an organizer of the Denver Crusade for Justice.

The year was 1803, and the United States had agreed to buy the mid-eastern plains from France, resolving as the Louisiana Purchase. However, James Polk, who was elected as president in 1844, created the Manifest Destiny, which was the belief that the United States was destined to claim the land of the West coast, which at that moment, was all a part of Mexico. He had his eye especially on California, and was not ready to let Mexico ruin the Manifest Destiny from becoming fulfilled. Eventually he proposed to Congress to start a war with Mexico, and only sixteen denied the request. Even before Polk was president, the Battle of the Alamo occurred between Mexico and the U.S., both wanting Texas.

Since due process is how we define the order and the correct way of doing things, this is how it applies: In the Terry versus Ohio case, Terry believe that officers should have probable cause before the officer was able to stop and frisk individuals. Under the Fourth Amendment, officers have the right to stop and frisk without probable cause, meaning the process McFadden used was correct. On the other hand, in Miranda versus Arizona, Miranda had not been informed of his right to remain silent before giving his confession of committing the crimes he had been accused of. In turn his confession was not valid. If the officers had used the correct process and made Miranda aware of his right to remain silent, his confession could have been used in trial.

Baltimore “the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution 's Bill of Rights restricts only the powers of the federal government and not those of the state governments.” This was a very important decision in the history of civil liberties. This basically meant that people were protected from the federal government but not their state government. Something had to be done to fix this. That is when the fourteenth amendment came into play.

The Chicano movement The Chicano Movement emerged during the Civil Rights Era and mainly consisted of three parts: The Land Grant Struggle Farm Worker's Rights The Student Movement Nevertheless, before the movement, Hispanics already achieved several preliminary accomplishments. Starting off in 1947, the case Mendez v. Westminster Supreme Court prohibited the segregation of Latino students from white students.

After his father's death, he assumed the position of interim president, as prescribed in the constitution. His brother Anastasio "Tachito" Somoza Debayle, who was a West Point graduate, took over the leadership of the National Guard. A major political repression campaign was followed after the assassination of Anastasio Somoza García. Many political opponents were tortured and imprisoned by guards under orders from his eldest son Anastasio Somoza Debayle and the government imposed press censorship as well as suspended many civil liberties. When the Conservative Party refused to participate in the 1957 elections, the Somoza siblings created a puppet opposition party, which they called the National Conservative Party, in order

The 9th Amendment is interpreted as justification to protect privacy in ways not specifically mentioned in the Constitution. Lastly, the 14th Amendment prevents states from denying its citizens their fundamental rights of life and liberty without due process. In this Amendment the right of liberty represents the right to privacy. The Supreme Court struck down the law on the grounds that is was unconstitutional. In this case the Supreme court

The 14th amendment was passed for the reconstruction of the civil war and for the African Americans citizenship. So in considering the reason that the 14th amendment was passed for that is why the status of the immigration is affecting the 14th

2 Civil Liberties are limitations placed on the government. To put it in easier term civil liberties are things the government can’t do that interfere with a person freedom. For example, the first amendment of the Bill of Rights says the government can’t mess with someone religion or interfere with their practices. 3 Amendment 1 gives the individual liberty from the actions of the government. 2 Civil Rights are curbs on the power of majorities to make decision that would benefit some at the expense of others.

On its face, the first amendment free speech clause of the Constitution is straightforward and unqualified, providing that, “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” Despite this, the United States Supreme Court has ruled that various categories of speech fall wholly outside of first amendment protection and thus merit proper censorship in appropriate cases. Among such restricted categories of expression are: advocacy intended, and likely, to incite imminent lawless action; obscenity, child pornography, true threats, defamation, fraud, and finally “fighting words”. The fighting words doctrine is a curious aberration from typical Supreme Court jurisprudence in that the Court has never upheld a single conviction on the basis of fighting words since its seminal establishment in Chaplinksy v. New Hampshire.

However, he returned in 1821 when Mexico gained independence from Spain. In the newly established Republic of Mexico, de Zavala served in the Mexican Constituent Congress and then the Mexican Senate from 1822 until 1826. He was then elected governor of the state of Mexico, just west of Mexico City. After serving in addition

Pease was secretary of Mina’s committee of Public Safety, and also was a member of the peace faction until problems arose.

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the war between the U.S. and Mexico. This war was initiated by the United States and resulted in Mexico 's defeat and the loss of nearly 60 percent of its territory in the north. In the U.S. the war is termed the Mexican–American War, also known as the Mexican War, the U.S.–Mexican War or the Invasion of Mexico. In Mexico names for the war include Primera intervención estadounidense en México, Guerra de la Invasión estadounidense, and Guerra del 1847. Nonetheless, the Mexican American War was unjust because of President Polk’s thirst for more territory.

Therefore, the Supreme Court is saying that in order for a fundamental right to be recognizable under Fourteenth Amendment, it must be defined by the Constitution. Regardless of the fact that a particular role should be executed by the government, does not establish it as fundamental right according to the decision. As referenced by Justice Powell, if it is not written explicitly in the Constitution, it is not a role of the government to guarantee it as a right of the people. The court’s decision that education is not a fundamental right under the United States Constitution refocused local control over school funding formulas.
