Question

What is a court case can the 10th ammendmant be applied to.

Answer 1

The 6th Amendment guarantees the right to an attorney. The 7th Amendment guarantees the right to a jury trial. The 8th Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishments. The 4th Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Sara, as an individual accused of a crime, has the right to an attorney regardless of the severity of the charges. This right is protected by the 6th Amendment which guarantees the right to counsel.

2. Mr. Jones has the right to a jury trial, regardless of the amount in dispute. This right is protected by the 7th Amendment which guarantees the right to a jury trial in civil cases.

3. No, the judge cannot impose such a cruel and unusual punishment on Carolyn. This would violate the 8th Amendment which prohibits cruel and unusual punishments.

4. The ATF cannot search Mr. Reynolds' house without a warrant or demand that he turn over his weapons without due process. Both of these actions would violate the 4th Amendment which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.

Answer 2

In United States v. Lopez (1995), the Supreme Court struck down a federal law that prohibited guns in schools, ruling that the law exceeded Congress's power under the Commerce Clause and encroached on an area traditionally reserved for the states.

In Printz v. United States (1997), the Supreme Court struck down provisions of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act that required state and local law enforcement officers to conduct background checks on gun purchasers, ruling that this violated the Tenth Amendment by commandeering state officials to perform federal duties.

In National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius (2012), the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate as a valid exercise of Congress's taxing power, but struck down provisions of the law that required states to expand Medicaid, ruling that this coerced states into participating in a federal program and violated the Tenth Amendment.
