MCJ 6230 Constitutional Law for Criminal Justice-updated

1. In the arguments before the Supreme Court in the Pentagon
Papers case, what would the government have had to show to win five
votes for its position? What was Justice Harlan’s answer to the
problem the case confronted? 2. What constitutional issue
confronted the Court in Dennis v. United States (1951)? How was the
case decided? Explain. What does Justice Frankfurter’s concurring
opinion in the case reveal about his view of the proper role of the
Supreme Court in the resolution of conflicts between governmental
power and individual rights? Explain. 3. Consider Justice Black’s
dissent in Griswold v. Connecticut. Is it consistent with his views
in Adamson v. California (see Chapter 9)? Katz v. United States
(see Chapter 10)? Discuss. 4. In his opinion in Griswold v.
Connecticut, why did Justice Douglas rely on “penumbras” from the
Bill of Rights rather than the Fourteenth Amendment’s due process
clause (see Chapter 9)? Explain. 5. In light of the Brown v. Board
of Education I (1954) and II (1955) (Brown) decisions, how does one
account for the Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle
School District No. 1 (Seattle) decision in 2007? Is the latter
consistent with the former? According to Brown, what is the source
of the constitutional violation in racially segregated schools:
separation of the races itself or the state’s requirement that the
races be separate? What are the practical consequences of each
view? 6. Both Justice Brennan’s plurality opinion in Frontiero v.
