Do the provisions of the U.S. Bill of Rights protect the rights of persons living in Texas from having their rights violated by state and local governments?
a) No, because the U.S. Constitution applies only to the actions of the national government.
b) No, because the U.S. Constitution protects individuals from having their rights violated by other individuals, not from the government.
c) No, because the Texas Constitution protects individuals from having their rights violated by state and local governments.
d) Yes, because the U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted the U.S. Constitution to apply all of the provisions of the U.S. Bill of Rights to the states.
e) Yes, because the U.S. Supreme Court has applied the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to the actions of local governments against the state government.
Question 2
29. In recent years, several Texas cities have adopted juvenile curfews, requiring persons under the age of 18 to be off the streets late at night and, in Houston, during school hours as well.
Suppose a group of youngsters believes that their rights are violated by the curfew. On which of the following bases could they make their challenge?
a) They could file suit under the provisions of both the U.S. and the Texas constitutions because both documents protect individual rights.
b) They could file suit only under the provisions of the U.S. Constitution because the Texas Constitution does not protect individual rights.
c) They could file suit only under the provisions of the Texas Constitution because the U.S. Constitution does not protect individuals from the actions of state and local governments.
d) They could not file suit at all because neither the U.S. nor the Texas constitution applies to the actions of local governments.
e) Because they are under the age of 18, the rights contained in the U.S. and the Texas constitutions do not apply to them.
