Thank you ms.sue
You're welcome.
The Fourth Amendment to the U.S Constitution upholds the common law principle of (2) "My house is my castle."
To arrive at this answer, let's understand the common law principles mentioned in the options:
(1) "The freedom to swing your Arm stops where the other person's nose begins" refers to the principle of not infringing upon someone else's rights or causing harm to others. Although it is a valid principle, it is not directly addressed or upheld by the Fourth Amendment.
(3) "People have the right to be judged by a jury of their peers" is a principle protected by the Sixth Amendment, which ensures the right to a fair trial. It is not specific to the Fourth Amendment.
(4) "A person is innocent until proven guilty" is a fundamental principle of criminal law, but it is protected by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, not the Fourth Amendment.
(5) "People have the right to a speedy trial" is also protected by the Sixth Amendment, not the Fourth Amendment.
However, (2) "My house is my castle" aligns with the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. It emphasizes the right of individuals to be secure in their own homes, without intrusion by the government, unless there is a valid search warrant or a recognized exception to the warrant requirement.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (2) - "My house is my castle."
I disagree.
unreasonable searches and seizures from their home?
