Answer to Question 1

Answer: Human beings have needs. Ones liberties end where anothers begin. Growth of society gives rise to
opportunities for encroachment on others rights.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The citation is the reference for an appellate opinion in a published book. For example, 384 U.S. 436 is
the citation for Miranda v. Arizona, decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1966. That means that the
opinion is found in volume 384 of the U.S. Reports, beginning on page 436. Citations are very important
because they refer judges and attorneys to prior appellate opinions which serve as a guideline for
current trial court rulings and additional appellate rulings. Stare decisis is a Latin term which means that
a court is required to follow a certain line of thinking, or precedent, if the facts in the present case are
exactly the same.
