Mapp v. Ohio Primary Source Analysis

Students will read excerpts from Justice Clark's majority opinion and Justice Harlan's dissenting opinion on Mapp v. Ohio regarding the 4th Amendment, search and seizure, and the exclusionary rule/principle. They will then answer 16 questions of varying degrees of difficulty. The answers are included where appropriate and this would be great for a sub! 

Sample questions include:
--How is the 14th Amendment connected to this case?
--What does Clark identify as “logical?”
--Explain the “mutual obligation” had by the federal and state governments.
--What does Harlan identify as an initial problem with the decision of this case? 
--Compare and contrast Clark and Harlan’s perceptions of what was actually decided in this case.
--Why don’t you think this was a unanimous case?
