Gideon’s Trumpet & Constitutional Law
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that discusses Gideon’s Trumpet by Anthony Lewis, which is an expertly written, comprehensive account of a landmark case in constitutional law, Gideon v. Wainwright, which was heard by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1963. Clarence Earl Gideon was a prisoner in the Florida penal system who felt that his constitutional rights had been violated because his request for a court-appointed lawyer at this trial was denied. Lewis’ book tells how Gideon succeeded in taking his case before the Supreme Court and, in so doing, this text illustrates how—while there are flaws in the American system of jurisprudence—it works because it has mechanisms in place for correcting errors.

Gitlow vs. New York
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page paper arguing the validity of the Supreme Court decision of this case. Gitlow v. New York was decided in 1925 and is studied today as a classic case of the limits of the freedom of speech guaranteed under the First Amendment. New York tried and convicted Benjamin Gitlow on charges of criminal anarchy in two counts: one was for advocating the overthrow of the government; the other was for publishing a booklet doing the same. The reason for the continued interest in the case is not so much the issue of freedom of speech for the individual, but is studied more for the value of both the majority opinion and the dissenting view of Justices Holmes and Brandeis. Each side presents value in their arguments, but it appears from the perspective of 75 years later that the dissenting view is more reasonable than that of the majority. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Habeas Corpus; Fair or Unfair? A Discussion Using the Case of Iowa v Williams
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages. The idea of Habeas Corpus is that of a tool to protect those unlawfully held. This may be seen as a fair tool, but when we look at the case of Iowa v Williams, and the later case of Williams v Brewer, it appears it is also open to abuse where mistakes are made that invalidate incriminating evidence.
