United States v. Lopez

to Congress by the Constitution is the Commerce Clause. This clause allows Congress to regulate commerce between foreign nations, states, and Indian tribes. The authority laid out authorizes Congress to pass laws that ultimately regulate activities of states and citizens and free the restraints of states who feel otherwise. Throughout the history of the United States, the Commerce Clause has caused controversy over the extent that Congress can justify the use of this clause to pass laws. The Supreme

still seems to control the usage of any weapons a person may own through laws and regulation. However in the case of United States v Lopez, one man, Alfonzo Lopez, appeals to the Supreme Court and may forever affect the relation Congress has within public schools. On March 10th of 1992, Alfonzo Lopez was found carrying a concealed handgun into the High School of San Antonio, Texas. Lopez was later charged with violating the Gun-Free School

In my understanding of the cases of US v. Lopez and Gonzales v. Raich, I find that the elasticity of interpretation of laws can greatly change the outcomes of these cases. The role of Supreme Court of the United States in respect to these cases is to protect our civil rights by overturning laws that violate the United States Constitution. It’s unsettling to me how the opinions of these nine people can swing the ultimate law one way or another depending on their interpretation of what the framers

FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM UNDER INTRODUCTION Plaintiff RICHARD LOPEZ (“LOPEZ”) hereby submits his opposition to Defendants’ CITY OF SAN DIEGO (“CSD”) Motion to Dismiss the Complaint under F.R.C.P 12(b)(6). However, Lopez’s Complaint not only meets but also exceeds the standards governing the form of a complaint under F.R.C.P 8(a) and sufficiently alleges breach of contract, promissory estoppel and damages. Accordingly, CSD’s motion should be denied. STATEMENT OF FACTS Plaintiff Richard Lopez entered

throughout the late 70’s into the early 2000’s, but can schools treat students unfairly according to the law? The first case I studied is Goss v. Lopez (1975). In the Goss v. Lopez case nine Ohio Appellee high school students were suspended for 10 days. They were suspended for misconduct and suspended without a hearing, which is unconstitutional and against Ohio state law. Eventually the principle was challenged and the case was appealed to the Supreme Court. They

A racial project explains how “[racial dynamics] are simultaneously an interpretation, representation, and explanation” (Omi et. al 54). Racial projects offer insight how race is linked to both structure and representation by the ideology that is primarily evident by everyday practices whether

white and who is not. Usually we have the mentality in racial aspects of either one person is this or not. What influences our way of differentiating from one person to another is what we were taught in life and from school. In Ian Haney Lopez, White By Law, Lopez discusses how the terms “black” and “white” were not natural categories that were simply there from the very beginning of time. But instead were terms that were created in part under the social construction of the law. He gives a great

and then they were sent to the Senate for approval. The Senate in turn altered the 17 amendments into 12 articles. During the 1789 Joint Resolution of Congress, Congress agreed on the 12 amendments. It was then necessary that three-fourths of the states formulated their approval. At that moment, the tenth amendment was previously numbered as the twelfth article. However, since two of the articles were not ratified, the remaining articles were then renumbered and thus, the Tenth Amendment was born

a product of the 14th amendment which states that no person in the United States will be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law under the circumstances (U.S. Const. amend. XIV). If the requirements of fulfilling due process regarding public school suspensions include a chance for explanation, a form of notice, and fair practice then the Tillamook high school procedures dealing with suspensions are consistent with the Goss v. Lopez case of 1975. Regarding suspension procedures

Public Gun Control in the United States Gun Control in the United States of America is a sensitive (understatement) topic that has resulted in various criticism and support by many citizens of the United States (also an understatement). Some citizens believe that the guns don 't kill people; it is the people that kill people while others believe that guns lead to violence and a feeling of control and power over others. The belief of some is that if firearms were to be eliminated from the public
