carroll.vs.united states

the summary of this case is that the 4th amedment was not broken. the cops have the right to search a vehical without a warrent and take what they find for evidence.the liquor that was seized was used for the conviction to the ones who transported it to a dry state or dry city.
  the court said it broke the national prohibition act and the two vehcials that the liquor was found had 68 quarts of wiskey and gin. the defendents made a motion to have the liquor retuned to the defendant  carroll who owned the vehcial.
I agree with the court system because anyone who has liquor in a vehcial has a chance to drink and drive and the court ruled in the favor and arrested carroll

president essay


John Adams

November 1, 1800, just before the election John Adams arrived in the new Capital City he wrote his wife, "Before I end my letter, I pray Heaven to bestow the best of Blessings on this House and all that shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but honest and wise Men ever rule under this roof." John Adams sent three commissioners to France in the spring of 1798. Then later on word from the French foreign ministers Talleyrand and the directory had refused to negotiate unless they would first pay a bribe.  Adams did not call for a declaration of war , but hostilities began at sea. By 1800 armed merchantmen and U.S. warships were clearing.
