After reading the assigned chapters and your lesson, you now have the ability to apply the information you previously learned about the amendments to the court system in the United States.

Also, you have a better understanding of how the courts interact with other parts of the criminal justice system.

In this assignment, you will be focusing on the courts, amendments, and the criminal justice system as a whole. Use the below questions to complete this assignment.

1. Explain how the courts relate to the other components of the criminal justice system. How do they work together? How do they sometimes interfere with each other?

2. For the fourth, fifth, sixth, and eighth amendments, find an academic source that shows how the courts either expanded or restricted rights related to that amendment.

Using the facts of the four cases in the articles, show how the courts and the amendments functioned together in resolving the cases.

Your paper should be in APA style with in-text citations and a reference page. It should be a minimum of two pages in length.
