The 4th amendment laid down rules for police officers. It limited what they could do unless they had a warrant, it would allow them to arrest or search a person or their home/vehicle.


Q: What is the historical background of this amendment (why was it made?)
A: The 4th amendment was ratified on December 15, 1791. It was made to protect the people from unreasonable searches and seizures. It was made by the King of Britain.
Q: What does this amendment mean today?
A: The amendment means police can’t arrest people or search their house or cars without a warrant.
Q: Present examples of current issues involving this amendment.
A: Today the Supreme Court is trying to figure out whether or not police can look at a person’s cell phone without a warrant due to all of the personal information a phone can hold.

Another problem we have is all of the new technology and how the government can listen to our phone calls or look at our text messages.

We have people there helping them because they don’t want what they are going through. The way is see it is the people are getting hurt by their own country more than they are getting hurt by the American soldiers. Americans soldiers seem to be doing more to help the people than their own country. I see myself fitting into the big picture of society by doing things for others and by treating my neighbor as myself. People don’t realize how much the smallest actions help the society.
