If this is for an essay and you have time for research then you use a treatise on constitutional law. There are also resources online.\n\nThe US Supreme Court rules on the federal constitution. State supreme courts (in NYS the Court of Appeals -- their supreme court is the lowest court of general jurisdiction, following English practice) rule on state constitutions. Here's an example where a state law on double jeopardy was stricter than the federal rule: http://www.uniset.ca/naty/maternity/192P2d449.htm (in federal practice, two different sovereigns can prosecute the same offense, California law (only) is different).\n\nCiting a US Supreme Court case is easy. You go to http://www.lexisone.com (free registration required) or to http://justia.us (uses Google searching rules which may be more familiar to you) and you look for what you want -- key words, etc. Supreme Court cases are cited in the pattern "Smith v. Jones, 123 U.S. 456 (19XX)".\n\nMost Supreme Court constitutional law cases are famous: Roe v. Wade (abortion), Loving v. Viriginia (miscegenation), Lawrence v. Texas (sodomy), Miranda v. Arizona (right to warnings upon arrest), Gideon v. Wainwright (right to counsel). And so on.

You'd do better to find yourself some reliable reference pages on the internet to start your information searches. Wikipedia, the site the above article is part of, is always a good start, although you should take care to verify all information obtained from it.

Talk with your lawyer.

You dont need a lawyer to tell you what the Constitution says anymore than you need a priest to tell you what the Bible says.\n\nRead it for yourself. The wording is quite clear.

You just have to read each of the amendments, and do it yourself. Then look on line for summaries and explanations, (search "bill of rights", "US constitution")then just rephrase.

None! The Constitution has no provisions on the matter. As to previous poster your refering to the rule for Senators & President. Not the Justices....

The Supreme Court hears arguments from both parties to the case.  A party may decide to use public opinion as part of their argument, but decisions on constitutional questions are typically decided based on the text of the constitution, the historical reasons for adopting the provision in question & previous decisions of the United States Supreme Court.  Decisions from lower courts, both state and federal, are relevant considerations, but it's not necessary for them to decide.

take a moment to think about your answer. if possible, try to rephrase the question into a statement while answering. this gives you time to think of the answer while reassuring that you have understood the question properly. answer to the best of your ability. if it's possible, give an example of how you have used what they are asking in the past.

practice answering typical questions they may ask you.......like.\n1) describe a time you were involved in a conflict, and how did you deal with/resolve it.\n2) tell me about a time when you had a deadline which you realised you could not meet. What did you do?\n3) teall me about a time you were told to do something by a superior you did not agree with. what did you do? \n\nthe trend in this country is to ask 'situational' questions....to find out how you deal with certain situations.\n\nbut seriously, be yourself......smile...you'll be great!!!!

It would be a good idea to look up the 11th amendment to the US Constitution. I have and am completely without ideas as it is a hard one to capture in pictures. It gives citizens of any state the right to sue a state.

Constitutional issues -- first, conduct versus speech.\nIs the rock concert conduct, or is it a form of expression?\n\nSame question for the drug use. Also, with the drug use, add in the question of neutral criminal laws regulating the conduct, versus laws that limit the expression intended by that conduct.\n\nAlso look at forum selection issues, prior restraint issues, the secondary effects doctrine, etc. If your class didn't cover any of these, you can ignore them -- or impress your teacher by researching them.
