Take a position on whether or not you believe the Supreme Court is responsive to public opinion. Examine the extent to which public opinion should affect Supreme Court decisions. Support your response with at least three (3) examples of the perceived effects of public opinion on Supreme Court decisions.
I don't think Supreme Court should be responsive to the public opinion,

2. They only listen to cases that interfere with the U.S Constitution.

cases that I believe have had the most impact on our society are as follows:
1. Brown v. Board of Education. In 1954, the Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional and unequal to have separate educational facilities for students based on their race. This case provoked the civil rights movement.
2. United States v. Nixon. In 1974, The supreme Court made a ruling that President Nixon had to turn over tapes and other documents regarding the Watergate scandal. The ruling set preliminaries which limits the power of the president of the United States.

The court is to protect the citizen rights and to uphold the
Constitution. The judges are appointed through a political
3. process which can play a major role in their decision-making.
Their decisions can have an impact on society.
An example can be seen in the Roe v. Wade case. This case
brought to the public's eye the legal issue of a woman's right to
have an abortion as well as her rights as a person and as a
citizen.
The mass media have a tremendous influence on society. The
newspaper, radio, and the television helps to make a
determination on what topics and stories will be discuss and
spread the information. When a crime takes place, it will
receive extensive news coverage will can affect the thought
process of the witnesses, jurors, prosecutors, and defense
attorneys.

From the e-Activity, analyze the primary manner in which
organized crime may impact all areas in our lives. Next, based
on the text, specify the main ways in which the government uses
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO)
and Continuing Criminal Enterprise Statute (CCE) to combat
global organized financial crimes like drug trafficking. Provide
one (1) example of the use of RICO and CCE to support your
response.
Per the text, money laundering has been called the world’s third
largest business. Discuss the overall impact that money
laundering has had on the world’s financial systems. Next, give
your opinion of whether or not the laws in place to combat such
crime are efficient. Justify your response.
Organized crime impacts our lives in many ways because as
parents we have to keep a very good eye on our children. For
instance, human trafficking is a crime that organized crime is
known for, so you have to be careful with your children. You
have to pay higher taxes on goods and services due to a cheaper
price that is most likely stolen from a supplier. RICO and CCE
specifically target organized crime which includes groups and
the organization that commits a crime and by linking that group
or organization to the crime then they can charge everyone with
4. that crime. Organized has a big hold on drugs which can be
found in almost every neighborhood these days. By that being
the case people are caught up in crime and even murders that
happens right where they live with their families.
RICO is a law that as created to try to eradicate organized crime
by establishing strong sanctions an forfeiture provisions and it
allows people who are involved in illegal activities to be tried.
It allows the state and the federal government to take action to
punish these organizations. CCE is also called Kingpin Statute
which is United States Federal law that targets
larg
scale traffickers that traffic humans and drugs. These
organizations are very dangerous and they use intimidation and
violence to control their organizations.
An example of RICO s when a few members of a organization
runs drugs and the profits are then spread out between the
members, that then involve everyone n the crime
An example of CCE is when a large drug dealer traffics drugs
around the world
continually
.
I don't think that the laws as they are currently are not
enough
to stop crimes because they need beer resources and more
people working to combat these crimes. If all law
enforcement
agencies were able to better communicate then they would be
able to stop more of the trafficking that happens.
