Your weight decreases during each of the first five weeks of the program. Determine the actual change in weight over the first five weeks of the program by subtracting your initial weight from your weight at the end of the first five weeks. What is the sign of your answer? What is the significance of this sign?
a.
137-150 = -13 lb; A change in weight is negative because the weight decreases.
b.
137-150 = 13 lb; A change in weight is positive because the weight decreases.
c.
150-137 = -13 lb; A change in weight is negative because the weight increases.
d.
150-137 = 13 lb; A change in weight is positive because the weight increases.



P

The mathematical expression 150 - 137 = - 13 pounds is the most appropriate because it includes all the data necessary to express the weight loss over 5 weeks.

To know the weight lost it is necessary to do the following mathematical operations:

1. Subtract the starting weight from the ending weight.

The -13 means the weight lost during the first 5 weeks of going to the gym.

Note: Neither option is correct. The correct answer would be 150 - 137 = - 13 pounds; A cweight change is negative because it decreases weight.

Explanation:

A resident of Maine is accused of murder and requests a grand jury indictment; however, the Maine legislature has recently passed a law doing away with grand jury trials, even when requested. The defendant is eventually found guilty and appeals his case all the way to the US Supreme Court.

Under selective incorporation, what is the most likely result of this Supreme Court case?

A) The Supreme Court will likely find against the state of Maine because the rights “retained by the people” mentioned in the Ninth Amendment would be applied through the doctrine of selective incorporation.

B) The Supreme Court will likely find in favor of the state of Maine because the 10th Amendment’s guarantee of states’ rights could be applied through selective incorporation.

C) The Supreme Court will likely find in favor of the state of Maine, because the 11th Amendment’s limitation on judicial power could be included in the doctrine of selected incorporation.

D)The Supreme Court will likely find against the state of Maine, since the Fifth Amendment guarantees the right to indictment by a grand jury, and no state may deprive a citizen of this right.

Directions: Read the three Supreme Court case scenarios below in the left hand column. In the right hand column, jot down which constitutional amendment you think this case was about, and explain your reasoning.

SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the US) Case
Constitutional Amendment
Mapp v. Ohio (1957): In May 1957, three police officers arrived at Dollree Mapp’s home after having received a tip that a fugitive had hidden there. Mapp, who had phoned her attorney, refused to admit the police officers. Three hours later, they knocked on the door, and when Mapp did not immediately answer, they forced the door open and entered. Mapp demanded to see a search warrant. One of the officers held up a piece of paper, claiming it was the warrant. After a scuffle, the officers handcuffed Mapp. The police then began to search the house. They did not find a fugitive in the house; however, in the course of their search they turned up some material they deemed obscene. Mapp was charged and eventually convicted of having offensive books and pictures in her possession.


Engel v. Vitale (1962): In 1951 the New York State Board of Regents, which supervises the state’s public school system, approved a brief prayer at the start of each day. The prayer read: “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our Country.” School districts were not required to use the prayer, and students were not required to recite it. In 1958, the New Hyde Park school board adopted the prayer and directed that it be recited each day in every class, although students could be excused from reciting it. Steven Engel, the parent of two children in the New Hyde Park schools, objected to this practice and asked a state court to order the prayer dropped.


Tinker v. Des Moines (1969): Throughout the 1960s, television broadcasts carried graphic images of the Vietnam War. In December of 1965, John Tinker, his sister Mary Beth, and their friend Christopher Eckhardt decided to protest the war. They planned to wear black armbands to their schools in Des Moines, Iowa. When the school board learned of their plans, it adopted a policy that banned the wearing of armbands. Any students who violated this policy would be suspended. Several students, including the Tinkers, went ahead with their protest. The students were suspended when they refused to remove their armbands.
