A short research

Unit III Research Paper

Below is a list of six topics in which you may choose to write. Each topic addresses a major Supreme Court case concerning a specific amendment to the United States Constitution and a leading case relating to that amendment. All these areas will be covered during the course, and you can find a lot of material in your textbook, but you will be expected to go into greater depth using at least three sources on the topic (one of which can be your textbook). Use these sources to discuss the history of this area of law, how your case changed the law in this area, current trends, and your conclusions about the area of law.

Your assignment for this unit will be to choose one of these above topics and write a short paragraph telling your instructor which topic you have chosen and why you decided to choose this particular area of law.

Topic I pick:

The change in the Second Amendment right to bear arms since United States v. Miller (1939)
