Law, Justice and Society Chapter 3

In chapter three i learned how the law is made. The law is made by common law which is law that is made by judges. Henry the second is considered as the father of common law. Then there is precedents which is ideas that the current decisions are based on older cases. Then there is stare decisis that means let the decision stand. There is legislative law which is based on code of law. Case law which is law that is decided by judges and based on presidents and constitution. All of the laws are made to check and balance all of the court systems. Marbeler vs Madison created judicial review in which when a case gets appealed it is reviewed by different judges to see if any of the rights were violated. in this chapter i got to learn all of the bill or rights and why the bill of rights was created. The bill of rights is really interesting to me because when i learned my rights i learned that i don't have to be as afraid of police officers because i have rights that limit what they can do. I believe that everyone should know at least couple of the amendments from the bill of rights that way they will know what the police have the authority to do when they pull someone over. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSA8LX0xNLg this link will teach the bill of right in a fun way.
