Student Denied Constitutional Rights at College
A student at Modesto Junior College was denied his First Amendment Rights earlier this week when he was confronted and brought to a College official for handing out copies of the Constitution on Constitution Day. The illegality of his actions were that he was exercising his First Amendment right, while not standing within the “free speech zone,” which is a small circle of concrete that fits only two people at once. It is because of situations like this that the founders, the people who drafted the Constitution, created Checks and Balances. This system has created a successful Criminal Justice System that has lasted two centuries. Checks and Balances deters situations like this, because they stop people in positions of power from having too much power. The system was created so that in the event of a injustice, it will be corrected. If the founders had not created Checks and Balances there would be too much power in one place. With the separation of powers rights have less of a chance of being violated. The Judicial System stops the Executive Branch from putting too many people in jail and it creates a chance for people to defend themselves. The Executive branch helps the Judicial System process criminals. All in all, rights are saved through the creation of checks and balances.
So basically, Checks and Balances 'cause of Rights.
