Definición

  • The Fourth Amendment addresses searches of “persons, houses, papers, and effects.” Each of these can be connected in some way to property rights (John Locke, the English philosopher who influenced America's Founding Fathers, was among those who argued that individuals had “property” in their own bodies). It is not surprising that the constitutionality of some early searches rested in part on whether governmental agents had trespassed when they conducted warrantless searches.
