Rights of Criminal Defendants

Hey everyone. I apologize, but the correct reading for the homework is Lesson 32. Please read the section within your books and answer the Critical Thinking Exercise on p. 236 and the Reviewing and Using the Lesson questions on p. 240.

Today we learned about the restrictions of certain rights under the 1st Amendment (freedom of expression and freedom of religion). We applied what we learned to several court cases to determine if an individual's rights were infringed upon. Unfortunately, we did not get to do all of the cases and we did not get to the 4th-5th amendments. We will finish these ideas during next class. This is what next class will look like:

1.) Review by two more court cases involving freedom of speech and freedom of religion
2.) Court cases involving the 4th and 5th amendments
3.) Quick discussion on the homework (rights of criminal defendents)
4.) Practice of several topics during our unit (Federalists v. Anti Federalists, court case analysis)
5.) If time allows, we will have a game

Please remember to study for the test on Friday. DO NOT JUST COMPLETE THE STUDY GUIDE. You will need to study your worksheets and books for this test. The test will not be easy if you do not study.

Please email me with any questions or concerns. Have a great night!
