2.03 Selecting and Discussing Your Topic

This document provides information for a student to fill out for a discussion-based assessment on the Second Amendment. The student selects the Second Amendment as their topic and defines the personal liberty as the right to bear arms and protect oneself. For their primary example, the student chooses the landmark case of Heller V District of Columbia, which ruled that banning handgun ownership in the home violated the Second Amendment. The student also lists two current court cases - People V Aguilar, which ruled bans on carrying firearms outside the home as unconstitutional, and Caetano V Massachusetts, which extended Second Amendment protections to all bearable arms.
