MIRANDA RIGHTS
Every U.S. jurisdiction has its own regulations regarding what, precisely, must be said to a person arrested or placed in a custodial situation. The typical warning states:[3]
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say or do may be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future.
If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning, if you wish.
If you decide to answer any questions now, without an attorney present, you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney.

    amendment 64

    When Amendment 64 was passed last year I thought we would have recreational dispensaries instantaneously. However after reading Amendment 64’s stipulations I realize that Colorado and our National government have a lot of regulation that still needs to be placed in preparation of legalization. Most likely we will start to see recreational dispensaries open January 2014. Even though this seems so far away for most people, considering that the amendment has already been signed for 10 months; but as they say all good things take time.…

    27th Amendment paper

    The 27th amendment is very unique in that it took about 200 years from the date that is was proposed to the date it was officially ratified by the states. The 27th amendment has to do with pay raises or decreases for the members of Congress. Changes to the Congressional pay are supposed to take effect after the next term of office for the state representatives. This means that another election would have to happen before any pay raises or decreases can take full effect. This amendment clearly affects the Congressmen that would be making these pay increases or decreases. An example of this is that a new congress will be getting together and meeting in the first week of January 2011 and this meeting will last until the end of December 2012. During that time, Congress can pass a law to raise their own salaries, but the raise will absolutely not take effect until January 2013. So members of Congress cannot raise their own pay. They can only raise pay for the next Congress.…

    26th Amendment

    The extended debate on lowering the voting age from 21 to 18 first started during World War II and escalated sharply during the Vietnam War. The phrase “old enough to fight, old enough to vote” is traced back to the WWII decision to lower the draft age to 18, meaning the majority of those drafted lacked the right to vote.…

    Persuasive Essay On Miranda Rights

    When suspects are facing trial they can defend themselves, hire an attorney, or have one appointed by the state. Having a lawyer can help because they have training in defending their clients. This right also protects the poor suspects who can not afford a lawyer to represent them. The people that can not afford one can choose to have a lawyer or to represent themselves. It is a good idea to have a lawyer because he will be best fit to defend someone because of his experience and practice.…

    The Amendment Process

    Currently, the Constitution has twenty-seven amendments; of those only the first ten were ratified simultaneously, the rest were separate. These Amendments were all created by the only two methods allowed; either Amendments may be proposed by a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress or the legislatures of two-thirds of the states may call for a national convention to propose and discuss amendments. After the discussions, and before proposed amendments become part of the Constitution, they must be approved by three-fourths of the states, either by direct state legislature approval or by ratifying conventions. Only the 21st Amendment was ratified by an individual ratifying convention, the others were ratified by the state legislatures (Tawney, 2012).…
