Answers to questions 5–7<br />
5. The government must act fairly and in accordance with established principles in the way it takes action. In the case of<br />
Rochin v. California, 1952, the Supreme Court found that Los Angeles deputies violated procedural due process by illegally<br />
entering a suspect’s home, trying to force him to spit out pills, and pumping the victim’s stomach to recover the pills.<br />
6. The laws under which the government acts must be fair. In the case of Pierce v. Society of Sisters, 1925, the Supreme<br />
Court declared unconstitutional an Oregon law requiring children ages 8–16 to attend public schools. The substance of the<br />
law violated due process. 7. “the right to be free, except in very limited circumstances, from unwanted governmental<br />
intrusions into one’s privacy;” answers will vary as students can choose from several cases including Roe v. Wade, Webster<br />
v. Reproductive Health Services, and Ohio v. Akron Center for Reproductive Health<br />
