Question 1:

Today, it seems that the governance created by the Constitution is an upgrade from that

which was established by the Articles of Confederation. At the time though, the Constitution was

simply an experiment. Forget everything you currently know about the success Constitution.

Considering its unprecedented nature and the concern that a powerful national government

would be a danger to human liberty, would you have been a Federalist or an Anti-Federalist.

Question 2:

As a result, the idea has been ingrained in Anglo-Saxon culture and continues to generate

debate. Moreover, similar emotions date back hundreds of years in a variety of acceptable

activities, thus the prehistory is extensive. The message that the government and courts should

make choices in favor of obtaining judgements of guiltlessness has remained constant over the

years of legal development.

Question 3:
 The Equal Protection Clause is included in the 14th Amendment. The Equal Preservation

Clause is used to safeguard civil rights. Equal protection requires a state to rule fairly. The term

means that a state should not make meaningless differences between individuals based on

legitimate governmental objectives.

A person who believes the federal or state government has violated their equal rights may

sue that authority for remedy. To prove discrimination, the individual must first demonstrate that

the ruling authority really discriminated against them. The person must demonstrate that the

governing body's actions caused them real harm. After proving this, the court would typically

evaluate the government's actions in one of three ways: rigorous scrutiny, intermediate scrutiny,

or reasonable grounds scrutiny. The court will determine the level of scrutiny based on legal

precedent. Notably, courts have merged portions of two of the three requirements to create an ad

hoc test.
