ONE EXAMPLE ABOUT THIS ANSWER BUT PLS DONOT COPEY I AM JUST GIVING YOU IDEA

STUDENT 1:The seminal case of Miranda vs. Arizona (1966) is a prime illustration. This case significantly impacted how the American legal system shaped the accused parties' rights. Ernesto Miranda committed the crime when being questioned by the police after being taken into custody. He was not, however, made aware of his rights to an attorney present throughout the interrogation or to remain silent. His admission was presented in court as evidence, and he was found guilty. Miranda filed an appeal, contending that the lack of disclosure of his rights rendered his confession inadmissible. Ultimately, the matter made its way to the Supreme Court. The Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, in particular, was essential in this case. A person "shall not be coerced in any criminal proceeding to be an eyewitness against himself," according to the Fifth Amendment. On page 14, the protection against self-incrimination provided by the Fifth Amendment is explained. Arizona v. Miranda case is noteworthy because it provided the right to information about the rights of suspects in police custody before being questioned. The Miranda warnings have helped to safeguard the rights of innumerable suspects and are now a standard component of the criminal justice system in the United States. There are a few reasons why Miranda's cautions matter. First, they aid in guaranteeing suspects' rights awareness. Suspects might not know the law or their rights to an attorney's presence during questioning. Therefore, they must understand this. Miranda warnings are given to ensure suspects know of their constitutional entitlements and can make informed choices about whether to assist the police.

Another important consideration was the Sixth Amendment, which protects one's access to legal counsel. In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court declared that it was unlawful for police to question people secretly without informing them of their rights. The court ruled that police had to advise detained suspects of their rights to an attorney and to keep silent before questioning them. The "Miranda Rights," whose law enforcement personnel are obligated to read to detainees upon arrest, were established due to this ruling. The Supreme Court's decisions and routine law enforcement procedures are shaped by the U.S. Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, as demonstrated by this case.

STUDENT 2Coming from the case of Brown vs Board of Education, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights played a huge role in this court case, as it defined the stature of the "separate but equal" clause. The case of Brown vs Board of Education was significant in its own right, due to the fact that it violated the 14th Amendment, which states that "No state shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without the due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws". Within the case, there were two cases that lead into the decision that the 14th Amendment was violated and the "separate but equal" clause was overruled.

Based on the history behind the Brown vs Board of Education, this clause came from the Plessy vs Ferguson case. In this case, Plessy was considered to be an African American male, even though he was defined as Caucasian due to his skin color. Therefore, he sat in the white reserved only spot on the train. He was ordered to be seated in the blacks section of the train by the conductor, which led the "separate but equal" clause to be in effect, as it didn't violate due process and the 14th Amendment.

However, in Brown vs Board of education, many years later, there were four cases within the states of Kansas, Virginia, Delaware, and South Carolina as black children were not allowed to go into white only schools to get their education. The decision coming from Brown I was that "separate but equal" was not accepted when it came to public schooling. So, it was abolished and overruled ultimately, as it led into desegregation and the start of the Civil Rights movement in 1964.

In Brown II, the court ruled that desegregating the schools was "all in deliberate speed", which favored White southerners in the process due to the situation of handling segregation in schools. But, within due time, there were blacks going into white schools, getting the same education and excelling, going to college. And on top of that, not just any college; certain universities that were white only colleges to begin with.
