Answer to Question 1

Mapp v. Ohio impacted federalism by giving practical application to the 14th
Amendment protections of individuals from state government abuses. Where the
U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights originally applied to the national government,
the 14th Amendment created protections from the states. I believe it was a good
decision, because it eliminated the silver platter, and made state and local police
abide by the Bill of Rights as incorporated in the 14th Amendment.

Answer to Question 2

I do not think any of these options is best. I prefer to keep the exceptions to the
exclusionary rule that we have now. The exceptions are not too numerous that they
are hard to remember. Good faith, inevitable discovery, independent source, and
purged taint provide for practical approaches to applying the exclusionary rule.
