Terms to know...if ya want to do well on next Wednesday's Test:

Bill of Rights--the first ten amendments
civil liberties
clear & present danger test
14th amendment; "Due process clause"
establishment clause...govt cannot "establish" an official religion
exclusionary clause...govt cannot gather evidence illegally
freedom of expression...paramount to our democracy...paramount to the American Experience...the very best about being an American...BE YOURSELF...and be PROUD!!!
free-exercise clause, imminent lawless action test...the bar is set high and its in the govts court to prove it...libel & slander [usually takes more than the simple truth to win a libel case], prior restraint [a lot like expo facto laws], selective incorporation [a lot like IEPs in that each case much be treated on it's individual uniqueness].

This is good stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!
