Fourth Amendment  

Définition(s)

  • The Fourth Amendment is designed to guard against unreasonable federal government searches and seizures of persons, papers, houses, and effects perpetrated against “the people” of the United States. The amendment was established because the colonists despised the general warrants used by the British to curb the illegal smuggling of molasses, which was a primary ingredient in the making of rum.
