-
Marbury vs Madison
-

A. Dred Scott vs SandfordExplanation
Dred Scott vs Sandford is the correct answer because this Supreme Court case played a pivotal role in determining the rights of slaves in the United States.

This decision further reinforced the institution of slavery and denied basic rights to enslaved individuals, contributing to the tensions that eventually led to the American Civil War.Rate this question:

-
A person who has been killed
-
A person who has their rights violated
-

Correct Answer
A. A person who has their rights violatedExplanation
Civil court cases are legal disputes between individuals or entities that do not involve criminal charges.

The focus is on seeking compensation or resolving disputes rather than punishing the accused. Therefore, the correct answer is "a person who has their rights violated."Rate this question:

The U.S. Supreme Court Justices are appointed by the President. This is in accordance with the U.S. Constitution, which grants the President the power to nominate individuals for the position of Supreme Court Justice. However, the appointment is subject to confirmation by the Senate. The President selects a candidate, and then the Senate holds hearings and votes on whether to confirm the nominee.

-
Marbury vs Madison

Marbury vs Madison is the correct answer because this landmark Supreme Court case established the principle of judicial review in the United States.

A. Maritime casesExplanation
Federal Courts have the authority to interpret and apply laws related to maritime cases. Maritime cases involve legal disputes and issues that arise in relation to maritime activities, such as accidents, collisions, cargo disputes, and maritime contracts. Federal Courts have jurisdiction over these cases because they involve matters that fall under federal law, such as admiralty and maritime law. Therefore, when it comes to interpreting and deciding on legal matters related to maritime cases, Federal Courts have the expertise and authority to do so.Rate this question:

-
Federal Court
-

Correct Answer
A. State CourtExplanation
In cases where a neighbor's dog continues to chew on a fence post, the jurisdiction lies with the State Court.

The suspect may call a friend to attend the questioning session
-
The suspect may remain silent during the questioning session
-
The suspect may share only the facts of the case during questioning sessions
Correct Answer
A. The suspect may remain silent during the questioning sessionExplanation
The correct answer is that the suspect may remain silent during the questioning session. This is because the Miranda Rights guarantee the right to remain silent and not incriminate oneself. This is a fundamental right provided by the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution. By remaining silent, suspects can protect themselves from self-incrimination and ensure a fair legal process.Rate this question:

-
The suspect must be at least 18 years old to go to trial
Correct Answer
A. The suspect must be provided a lawyer by the stateExplanation
When arrested, suspects must be read their Miranda Rights, which include the right to have a lawyer provided by the state. This means that if a suspect cannot afford a lawyer, the state must appoint one for them. This ensures that the suspect has legal representation and can effectively exercise their rights during the trial process. It is a fundamental aspect of the criminal justice system to ensure fair and equal treatment for all individuals, regardless of their financial means.Rate this question:

-
As listed in Article 2
-

A. Not listed in the ConstitutionExplanation
The qualifications for U.S. Supreme Court Justices are not listed in the Constitution. The Constitution does not explicitly state any specific qualifications or requirements for individuals to become Supreme Court Justices. Instead, the appointment process is outlined in Article 2, which grants the President the power to nominate Justices, who are then confirmed by the Senate. The lack of specific qualifications allows for flexibility in the selection process, ensuring that individuals with diverse backgrounds and expertise can serve on the Supreme Court.Rate this question:

Who has jurisdiction if Illinois sues Michigan over the polluting of Lake Michigan of Asian Carp?
-
Federal Court
-
State Court
Correct Answer
A. Federal CourtExplanation
In cases where disputes involve multiple states or have interstate implications, such as the pollution of Lake Michigan by Asian Carp, the jurisdiction typically falls under the federal court system. This is because federal courts have the authority to handle cases that involve federal laws, interstate disputes, or conflicts between states. As Illinois is suing Michigan over the pollution issue, it would likely be heard in a federal court to ensure a fair and impartial resolution. State courts, on the other hand, generally handle cases that involve state laws and disputes within the boundaries of a specific state.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Senate membersExplanation
The U.S. Supreme Court Justices are approved by Senate members. The President nominates individuals for the position of Supreme Court Justice, but it is the Senate that has the power to confirm or reject the nomination. This process is known as "advice and consent," where the Senate holds confirmation hearings to evaluate the qualifications and suitability of the nominee before making a final decision. This ensures a system of checks and balances within the U.S. government, allowing for a fair and thorough assessment of potential Supreme Court Justices.Rate this question:

-
President Obama
-
President Roosevelt
-

Correct Answer
A. President RooseveltExplanation
During his term, President Roosevelt "packed" the U.S. Supreme Court. This refers to his attempt to increase the number of justices on the court in order to gain more favorable rulings for his policies. In 1937, he proposed a plan to add up to six additional justices to the court, but it was met with significant opposition. Although his plan ultimately failed, it remains a notable event in American political history.Rate this question:

-
When a case is heard before a jury
-
When a case is heard by the U.S. Supreme Court
-
When a case is heard for the first time
Correct Answer
A. When a case is heard for the first timeExplanation
Original jurisdiction refers to the authority of a court to hear and decide a case for the first time, as opposed to an appellate jurisdiction where a court reviews the decisions made by lower courts. When a case is heard for the first time, it means that the court has the power to examine the evidence, evaluate the facts, and make a determination without any previous rulings or decisions to rely on. This allows the court to establish the initial legal interpretation and application of the law in the given case.Rate this question:

This decision significantly changed the laws on abortion in the U.S. and continues to be a highly debated and controversial topic.Rate this question:

The 18th Amendment was the only Constitutional Amendment to be repealed. It was ratified in 1919 and introduced Prohibition, making the production, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages illegal in the United States. However, the amendment was widely unpopular and led to an increase in organized crime. As a result, the 21st Amendment was ratified in 1933, repealing the 18th Amendment and ending Prohibition.

This power ensures that the Executive Branch does not have complete control over the legislative process and allows the Legislative Branch to have a say in the creation of laws.Rate this question:
