Question.3961 - Discussion 13 Chapter 15 Part 1 NOTE: For this last week only one reply post per discussion is required. This is the first of two discussions on Chapter 15. Group 1: 1. The Bill of Rights originally applied and limited only the federal government. Please discuss how the Bill of Rights became applicable to the states through the process of selective incorporation. Make sure to discuss the Fourteenth Amendment and the Due Process Clause, the Gitlow v New York case, the Palko v Connecticut case and the fundamental freedom test. Group 2: Discuss the Court's interpretation and application of the Establishment Clause. After your summary, take a look at the case of the Ten Commandments being displayed in Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma. Why did the court uphold the display in Texas as constitutional, but declare the display in Kansas and Oklahoma to be unconstitutional (see lecture material)? Do you think the court struck the ride balance in these two cases (explain)? Group 3: 3. Discuss, using specific court cases for examples, the following statement: The Free Exercise Clause protects your liberty to believe whatever you want, but not necessarily to practice those beliefs. Do you think the Court has struck a good balance between individual liberty and order when it comes to the free exercise clause? Why or why not? All GROUPS: 4. Your right to freedom of speech (including symbolic speech) is not absolute. Discuss the Court's interpretation and application of the First Amendment's protection of freedom of speech. Make sure to discuss the concept of the Clear and Present danger test and its evolution (Dangerous Tendency Test. Gravity of Evil Test, etc.). Finally, find, summarize and share an article related to free speech on college campuses. What, if anything, do you think colleges should do to prevent hate speech on campus? Why?
