4 II. What left from previous session Amendments (I) > Amendments to the Constitution subsequent to the Bill of Rights cover a wide range of subjects. > One of the most far-reaching is the fourteenth, ratified in 1868, which establishes a clear and simple definition of citizenship and guarantees equal treatment under the law. > Other amendments have limited the judicial power of the national government; changed the method of electing the president; forbidden slavery; protected the right to vote; extended the congressional power to levy taxes to individual incomes; and instituted the direct election of U.S. senators. > The most recent amendments include the twenty-second, limiting the president to two terms in office. > The twenty-third, granting citizens of the District of Columbia the right to vote for the President and the Vice President; > The twenty-sixth, lowering the voting age to 18 4

7 II. What left from previous session Two Fundamental Principles (I) > The US constitution (1789) was a direct answer to dissatisfaction with the British colonial government > Therefore, directed toward limiting the powers of (federal) government rather than enhancing them > 2 fundemental principles > Federalism > Separation of powers 7
8 II. What left from previous session Two Fundamental Principles (II) > Federalism (I): > Limiting governmental power by fragmenting it > Enumerated powers > Art. 1 Section 8, 9 and 10 USC > State vs. Federal government > Balance of powers 8
9 II. What left from previous session Two Fundamental Principles (III) > Federalism (II): > CASES: > United States v. Lopez (514 U.S. 549 (1995)) > Alphonso Lopez was convicted under the federal Gun Free School Zones Act, which made it a federal crime to possess a gun within 1000 feet of a school. Lopez argued that the Act exceeded Congress's legislative power under the Commerce Clause. > The Supreme Court rejected the Gun Free School Zones Act. > United States v. Morrison (529 U.S. 598 (2000)) > The Supreme Court held that parts of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 were unconstitutional because they exceeded congressional power under the Commerce Clause and under section 5 of the 14 th Amendment. 9

20 IV. US Supreme Court (II) > How Supreme Court became supreme: > Marbury v. Madison (1803) > Facts: > Marbury got appointed by the outgoing Secretary of State John Marshall as justice of peace in DC > Republicans v. Federalists > The new secretary of State James Madison did not deliver the already signed and sealed document, based on a statutory act > Marbury applied directly to the Supreme Court as provided by the Judiciary Act of 1789 > Chief Justice was John Marshall (!) - Bad luck! 20
21 IV. US Supreme Court (III) > Other Cases: > U.S. v. Nixon (1974) > Criminal trial against Nixon aides > Tapes of White House conversations > Nixon: separation of powers > Court: no, Marbury v.
