| The 4th Amendment mandates that no warrant shall issue except upon probable cause of a crime. These laws authorize warrants based upon reasonable suspicion, not upon probable cause. Allegations alone are not evidence, and cannot establish probable cause without corroboration. The 5th Amendment says that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law, which places due process as a prerequisite. A person cannot be executed first, then tried posthumously. The 6th Amendment says a person whose life, liberty or property is at stake is entitled to face accusers, cross-examine witnesses, and present evidence and witnesses in his own behalf. The 14th Amendment ties them all together in a neat package. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
