Gender Based Gun Law Challenge

Summary

The Indiana law allowing females to purchase handguns at 18, while males must wait until 21, is challenged under the Equal Protection Clause. This gender-based distinction is a quasi-suspect classification, requiring intermediate scrutiny. In Arizona, a law mandating public school attendance is challenged for violating First Amendment religious freedoms. Monroe County, Indiana, can impose a food and beverage tax if state-authorized. States, not the federal government, primarily manage voter qualifications and elections. In Berghuis v. Thompkins, a suspect must clearly invoke the right to remain silent. Incitement to imminent lawless action is unprotected speech. Jakes case involves the 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination and the 6th Amendment right to counsel. Gerrymandering involves cracking and packing strategies.

Kathy and Van have four minor children and want to send them to Catholic school (parochial school). They live in Arizona, which recently passed a state law requiring all children between the ages of * and * to attend public school. Kathy and Van want to challenge the law. What is the strongest argument they can make that the law is unconstitutional? Group of answer choices The Fifth Amendment of the Constitution guarantees the right to Due Process. The law violates the First Amendment freedom of religion. Since Griswold v. Connecticut, the Supreme Court has recognized a fundamental right to privacy and that right includes the right of parents to choose their children's education. The law is unconstitutional because it violates the 14th Amendment Due Process Clause. Parents have a liberty interest that includes the freedom from physical restraint.
The strongest argument Kathy and Van can make is that the law violates the First Amendment freedom of religion. This argument centers around the idea that the state law infringes on their right to educate their children in accordance with their religious beliefs.

The officers then asked Jimmy questions about his girlfriend, which Jimmy answered. Group of answer choices True False
Case Rating: *
False.
In Berghuis v. Thompkins, the Supreme Court held that a suspect must unambiguously invoke their right to remain silent.
