Inkqubo yomthetho yaseUnited States imi yeyona nkqubo intsonkothileyo nenempembelelo kwihlabathi. Yakhiwe kwiinkulungwane zenkcazelo yomGaqo-siseko, yomthetho wezomthetho, kunye nezithethe zomthetho oqhelekileyo, le nkqubo iye yaguquka ngezigqibo zenkundla ezingenakubalwa eziye zabumba ibutho lamaMelika. Entliziyweni yale ndaleko ngamatyala eNkundla ePhakamileyo achaza imida yamandla karhulumente, akhusela amalungelo omntu ngamnye, kwaye aseka imigaqo esisiseko eqhubeka ikhokela uhlanga namhlanje.
Ukuqonda la matyala abalulekileyo kunika ulwazi olungaphezulu nje kulwazi lwembali, kwaye kunika ingqiqo ebalulekileyo ngendlela inkqubo yezomthetho yaseMerika esebenza ngayo, indlela okusetyenziswa ngayo okusesikweni nendlela okugcinwa ngayo ukulungelelana kwamandla phakathi kwamasebe amathathu karhulumente. Ezi zigqibo ziye zachaphazela zonke iinkalo zobomi baseMerika, ukusuka kwimfundo nakumalungelo abantu ukuya kulwaphulo-mthetho nakwigunya eliphezulu, ibonisa impembelelo enzulu enokubangelwa kukuchazwa kwezomthetho kwibutho labantu.
Isiseko Segunya Lezaphuli - mthetho ZaseMerika
Inkqubo yezomthetho yaseMerika isebenza kwisiseko esimiselwe ngumGaqo-siseko, kodwa amandla akhethekileyo kunye nemiqathango yesebe ngalinye lorhulumente iye yaphuculwa yacaciswa ngokucaciswa kwenkundla yorhulumente ngaphezu kweenkulungwane ezimbini. Inkqubo yenkundla yephondo, eneNkundla ePhakamileyo encotsheni yayo, isebenza njengomxhasi wokugqibela wemibuzo yomGaqo-siseko kwaye iqinisekisa ukuba umthetho usebenza kuwo onke amanqanaba karhulumente.
Ukwakhiwa kweNkundla yoManyano
Ijaji yephondo ineenkundla ezingundoqo ezintathu: iinkundla zesithili, iinkundla zesiphaluka, neNkundla ePhakamileyo. Iinkundla zesithili zisebenza njengeenkundla zamatyala apho kuthethwa khona kuqala, ngoxa iinkundla zesiphaluka zihlola izibheno ezivela kwizigqibo zenkundla yesithili. INkundla ePhakamileyo, njengenkundla ePhakamileyo kwelo lizwe, inegunya elinegunya elisemthethweni kumatyala amaninzi, ikhetha ukuphulaphula kuphela lawo azisa imibuzo ebalulekileyo yezomGaqo-siseko okanye iimbambano phakathi kweenkundla eziphantsi.
Esi sakhiwo sobungangamsha siqinisekisa ukuba imigaqo engokwasemthethweni isetyenziswa ngokungaguqukiyo kulo lonke uhlanga ngexa ivumela ukuphuhliswa komthetho ngenkqubo yokukhupha imvume. Izigqibo zeNkundla ePhakamileyo zibopha zonke iinkundla ezisezantsi, zidala imizekeliso ebumba ukutolikwa komthetho kangangeminyaka okanye kwamashumi eminyaka ezayo.
Umgaqo Wenkululeko Yezogwebo
Abagwebi bamafakelani bamiselwe ubomi, baphantsi kwesimilo esihle, esibakhusela kwiingcinezelo zobupolitika kwaye sibavumela ukuba benze izigqibo ezisekelwe kwimigaqo yomthetho kuphela nakwinkcazelo yomGaqo-siseko. Le nkululeko ibalulekile ekulondolozeni ijaji njengesebe elilinganayo likarhulumente, elikwaziyo ukuhlola amandla amasebe owiso-mthetho kunye nelolawulo oluphezulu.
Inkqubo yokutyunjwa ngokwayo ibonisa ulungelelwano lwamagunya, efuna ukutyunjwa komongameli kunye nokuqinisekiswa kweNdlu yeeNtsimbi. Oku kuqinisekisa ukuba ngoxa abagwebi begcina inkululeko xa bemisiwe, ukhetho lwabo lubandakanya igalelo kumasebe orhulumente anyuliweyo omabini, anika igunya ledemokhrasi kwinkqubo yokugweba.
INkundla Ephakamileyo Nempinda Yogwebo
Elona gunya libalulekileyo leNkundla ePhakamileyo `igunya lokuhlola ubugqeba bemithetho nezenzo zegunya eliphetheyo] langachazwanga ngokucacileyo kumGaqo-siseko kodwa lamiswa ngokucaciswa kwejaji. Eli gunya lokuhlola liye laba lisiseko somthetho-siseko waseMelika, libangela ukuba iNkundla isebenze njengonogada opheleleyo wemigaqo-siseko.
Imvelaphi Yophengululo Logwebo
Ngeli xesha umGaqo-siseko wawulindele ukuba iinkundla zinokuva amatyala "amele phantsi" kwamalungiselelo azo, azizange ziwanike ngokucacileyo amatyala amandla okuphelisa imithetho edluliswa yiBhunga okanye izenzo ezithatyathwa nguMongameli. Umbuzo wokuba iinkundla zazinalo na igunya elinjalo awuzange upheliswe kwiminyaka yokuqala yeRiphabliki, zidala ukungaqiniseki ngendima yejaji kwinkqubo yomGaqo-siseko.
Abalawuli bomGaqo-siseko babephikisana ngengcamango yokucalucalula imigaqo-nkqubo ngexesha leNdibano yezomGaqo-siseko, yaye ezinye iinkundla zephondo zazisebenzise amandla afanayo phantsi komgaqo-siseko worhulumente. Noko ke, igunya lejaji yesizwe lokubetha imithetho karhulumente elifuna ukucaciswa ngokuqheliselwa ngokwezona nangezokwenza izigqibo zomthetho.
Marbury v. Madison: Ukumisela iSupremacy
Marbury v. Madison, ogqitywe ngo-1803, sisigqibo esiphawulekayo seNkundla ePhakamileyo yaseUnited States esamisa umgaqo wokuhlola ityala, ithetha ukuba iinkundla zaseMerika zinamandla okuwisa imithetho nemimiselo eziyifumanayo ukuze zaphule umGaqo-siseko waseUnited States. Isigqibo esenziwe ngo-1803, iMarbury ithathwa njengesigqibo esinye esibalulekileyo kumthetho-siseko waseMerika.
Ityala lavela kwimpikiswano yezopolitiko phakathi koMongameli ohambayo uJohn Adams kunye noMongameli ozayo uThomas Jefferson. Ngemihla yokugqibela yolawulo lwakhe, oo-Adam bamisela abagwebi abaninzi bomkhosi woMasipala, kuquka uWilliam Marbury njengobulungisa boxolo lweSithili saseColumbia. Noko ke, ikomishini ayizange inikelwe phambi kokuba uJefferson athathe isikhundla, yaye ulawulo olutsha aluvumanga ukuhlonela ukumiselwa.
Emva kokuva iimpikiswano zikaMarbury, Marshall wabhala uluvo kwiNkundla engqinelanayo. UMarshall waliqhekeza elo tyala waba yimibuzo emithathu: Marshall waphendula "ewe" kwimibuzo emibini yokuqala. Inkundla yagqiba kwelokuba iMarbury inelungelo kwikhomishini yayo nokuba umthetho unikezele isicombululo sokwaphulwa kwalo lungelo. Noko ke, umbuzo wesithathu wabonakala untsonkothe ngakumbi kwaye ekugqibeleni ubaluleke ngakumbi kumthetho wesiseko waseMelika.
Ukuhlolisisa umthetho weNkomfa kugqithiswe ukuchaza igunya leNkundla ePhakamileyo kwiintlobo zamatyala njenge Marbury's candelo 13 loMthetho weJadicary ka-1789.Inkundla yafumanisa ukuba lo Mgaqo-mthetho unyuse inkcazo yeNkundla ePhakamileyo ngaphezu koko kwakusungulwe ekuqaleni kwiU.S. umGaqo-siseko. Inkundla ngoko yagatya icandelo 13 lesenzo, ichaza ukuba iinkundla zaseMelika zinamandla okuphelisa imithetho eziyifumanayo ngoku ukuchasana noMgaqo-siseko.
UGius wesigqibo sikaMarshall
Ababhali-mbali bathi inkcubeko yesigqibo seJaji enkulu uJohn Marshall kukuba yamisa amandla kaJudiciary ukuhlola izenzo zamasebe asemthethweni nalawulayo kwaye ivakalise ukuba azimelenga ngokoburhulumente ngaphandle kokudala amanqam omgaqo-siseko ngexesha. Ngokugqiba ukuba iNkundla ingenagunya lokunika isicelo sikaMarbury, Marshall waphepha ukungqubana okuthe ngqo nomphathi weJefferson ngexesha elinye eqinisekisa igunya leNkundla lokugqiba umthetho karhulumente.
Esi sigqibo samisela imigaqo emininzi esisiseko eqhubeka ikhokela umthetho womgaqo-siseko waseMerika. Saqinisekisa ukuba umGaqo-siseko wase-United States ngumthetho wokwenene, hayi nje ukuthethwa kwemigaqo yezobupolitika neenjongo. Kwanceda nokuchaza umda phakathi kwamasebe alawulayo ahlukeneyo ngokwemGaqo-siseko kunye namasebe agwebayo karhulumente worhulumente worhulumente.
Uluvo loMgwebi omkhulu uMarshall lwaluquka ulwimi oluye lwasisiseko sengcinga engokwasemthethweni yaseMerika. Ngumsebenzi ogxininisiweyo weSebe lezeeJaji ukuchaza oko umthetho ukuko. Abo basebenzisa umthetho kwiimeko ezithile, ngokwemfuneko, mabachaze baze bachaze umthetho. Oku kuqulunqa kwegunya lokuchaza umGaqo-siseko kuye kwayila ukuphuhliswa komthetho waseMerika kangangeenkulungwane ezingaphezu kwezibini.
Impembelelo Engapheliyo Yokuhlolisisa Ijaji
Nangona kungekho mthetho ubhengezwa njengongavumelaniyo nomthetho de kwagqitywa isigqibo sikaDred Scott ngo-1857, indima yeNkundla ePhakamileyo yokuphelisa imithetho karhulumente neyamazwe achasene nomGaqo-siseko ayizange icelwe mngeni nzulu. Amandla okuhlola isigwebo aye aba sisiseko kumthetho-siseko waseMerika kangangokuba kunzima ukuthelekelela inkqubo esemthethweni esebenza ngaphandle kwayo.
Ukususela kwisigqibo eMarbury, iNkundla Ephakamileyo iye yasebenzisa amandla ayo okuhlola ukuma komGaqo-siseko wemimiselo karhulumente kunye nezenzo zolawulo oluphezulu. Oku kwandiswa kwemimiselo yokugweba ngaphaya kwemimiselo karhulumente kuye kwanceda iNkundla ukuba iqinisekise ukuba onke amanqanaba karhulumente ahambelana neemfuno zomGaqo-siseko, kudala inkqubo emanyanisiweyo yomthetho-siseko kulo lonke ilizwe.
Umgaqo wokuhlola ugwebo uye wamkelwa ziinkundla zephondo, ezinegunya elifanayo kwimithetho nezenzo zikarhulumente phantsi komgaqo-siseko worhulumente. Oku kudala inkqubo ebanzi yolawulo lomgaqo-siseko esebenza kumgangatho worhulumente nowaseburhulumenteni, kuqinisekisa ukuba igunya likarhulumente lihlala linyanzelwa yimigaqo yomgaqo-siseko.
Amalungelo asekuhlaleni nokhuseleko olulinganayo
Mhlawumbi akukho mmandla womthetho waseMerika oye waphenjelelwa ngokunzulu zisigqibo seNkundla ePhakamileyo kunamalungelo abantu. Ingcaciso yeNkundla ye-Uncimente Protection Claus eMhlaziyi we-14th Amendment iye yatshintsha ngokuphawulekayo ekuhambeni kwexesha, isuka ekukhuthazeni ucalucalucalulo lobuhlanga iye ekubeni sisixhobo esinamandla sokulwa nocalucalulo nokukhuthaza ukulingana.
Imfundiso Eyahlukileyo Kodwa Elinganayo
Kwimbali enkulu yaseMerika, ucalucalulo lobuhlanga lwalungavunyelwanga nje kuphela ngokusemthethweni kodwa ngokusemthethweni. KwiPlesty v. Ferguson (1896), iNkundla ePhakamileyo yaxhasa imithetho karhulumente efuna ukwahlulwa kohlanga kwiindawo zikawonke-wonke, iseka imfundiso "ehlukeneyo kodwa elinganayo". Esi sigqibo sanika uthethelelo olusemthethweni lwemithetho kaJim Crow kulo lonke uMzantsi kwaye ngokunempumelelo sasiphelisa isithembiso sokulingana esasiqulathwe kuMphetho-14.
Esi sigqibo sabonisa isimo sengqondo sobuhlanga esasixhaphakile ekupheleni kwenkulungwane yeshumi elinesithoba saza sabonisa indlela ukutolikwa kwesigwebo okunokuyiqhubela phambili okanye kuphazamise ngayo inkqubela yentlalo. Malunga neminyaka engamashumi amathandathu, esi siganeko sasingumqobo ekulinganani kweentlanga, nto leyo eyayifuna ukuba imigudu eqhubekayo engokwasemthethweni nengokwentlalo iphelise.
Brown v. ibhodi yemfundo: Ukungavumelani
Brown v. iBrown Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), sisigqibo esiphawulekayo seNkundla ePhakamileyo yaseUnited States esagqiba kwelokuba imithetho karhulumente waseUnited States emisela ucalulo lobuhlanga kwizikolo zikawonke wonke yaphula umthetho weSikhuseli-mthetho se-Uniment Claus eMthethweni we-144, nokuba amaziko athenjiweyo alingana nomgangatho. Brown v. IBrown. iBrown. Board of Education ithathwa njengeyona mbekiselo kwimbali yamalungelo abantu baseMerika naphakathi kwemithetho ebalulekileyo kwimbali yeNkundla ye-U.S.
Ityala laqala xa uOrrever Brown kunye nabanye abazali base-Afrika eTopeka, eKansas, bacel ’ umngeni inkqubo yesikolo yokwahlukaniswa kohlanga. Inkundla yeSithili yeSithili saseKansas yafaka icala lenkundla yephondo eU.S. inkundla yephondo echasene neTopeka Board yemfundo, imisela inkqubo yayo yokulawula i-Ogcomponica. Inkundla ekhethekileyo yenkundla yephondo engoohlanga lwe-U.S. iNkundla yeSithili se-Olini saseKansas yali yaliva ityala laza layalela ityala laza lisebenzisa iqhinga lePelles ne "Expellane kodwa lilingana" imfundiso yayo. AbaBrow, ababemelelwesiphathi-NaCPinberglall, yabhenela ngqo kwinkundla ephakamileyo, eyakhupha isigqibo setyala kuMqulumbini e-1944.
Ingqiqo Nesigqibo Senkundla
NgoMeyi 17, 1954, iNkundla ePhakamileyo yakhupha isigqibo esingqinelanayo esixhasa intsapho yaseBrown kunye nezinye ii-partiff. Isigqibo sibandakanya uluvo olunye olubhalwe yiNtloko yeJaji u-Earl Warren, eyathelelwa yizo zonke izigwebo. Ukungalingani kwesi sigqibo kwakubalulekile ekuqinisekiseni ukuba iNkundla yathetha ngelizwi elinye kulo mbandela ubalulekileyo womthetho-siseko.
Uhlalutyo lweNkundla lujolise kwindima yemfundo kwibutho lamaMelika langoku. INkundla yaluthelekisa oku kunye nemeko yango 1954: "Namhlanje, imfundo ingumsebenzi obalulekileyo woorhulumente bethu bengingqi kunye noorhulumente." INkundla yagqiba kwelokuba, xa isenza isigqibo sayo, iyakuqwalasela ukuphuhliswa kwaso ngokupheleleyo nendawo yalo ngoku kubomi bamaMelika kulo lonke ilizwe.
NgoMeyi 17, 1954, wachaza imbono yeNkundla, esithi "Kwicandelo lemfundo kawonke-wonke sigqiba kwelokuba imfundiso 'yokwahluka kodwa ayiyi ndawo. Izakhiwo zemfundo ezahlukeneyo azilingani ngokwemvelo. Olu lwimi lucacileyo nolucacileyo lwashiya amathandabuzo ngemeko yeNkundla kumgangatho wesikolo kwaye lwanika isiseko sokuvavanya ukwahlukana kwezinye iindawo zobomi babantu.
Ubungqina Benzululwazi
Isigqibo sikaBrown sasiphawuleka ngokuxhomekeka kwaso kuphando lwenzululwazi yentlalo ebonakalisa iziphumo eziyingozi zokwahlukaniswa kwabantwana baseAfrika. Izazi-ngqondo uKenneth noMamie Clark's doll ngoku bavavanya u-oonodoli abadumileyo nazo zazisemgangathweni kwimpumelelo ye-LDF's kuBrown v. ibhodi. Uvavanyo lwabonisa impembelelo yokubekwa komhlathi kubantwana abantsundu. Ngokunikela abathathu kubantwana abaneminyaka esixhenxe banoonodoli abane, abafana ngaphandle kombala, uClark wafumana abantwana abamnyama bekhokelwa ukuba abantwana abancinane kunodoli abamhlophe, kwangakrwela, ngokongeza, ukuba babengaphantsi koonodoli abamhlophe.
Oku kusetyenziswa kobungqina benzululwazi yezentlalo kwamela ukushiya ingqiqo engokwesithethe esekelwe kwisithethe esekelwe kwimizekelo nakwiinkcazelo zombhalo. Ngoxa abanye abahlalutyi babephikisa ngelithi iNkundla iwugqithile umda wayo ngokuthembela kobo bungqina, abaxhasi baqiqa ngelithi ngokufanelekileyo iNkundla ijonge iziphumo zokwenene zehlabathi zokwahlula imigaqo-siseko xa igqiba ukuba iyawuphula kusini na umGaqo-siseko.
Ukusebenza nokuxhathisa
Ngoko, amaphepha ali-14 esi sigqibo awazange achaze nayiphi na indlela yokuphelisa ucalucalulo lobuhlanga ezikolweni, kunye nesigqibo sesibini seNkundla kwiBrown II (1955) kuphela esiyalelweyo ukuba sidityaniswe namazwe adityaniswe "ngesantya sokuzithandela". Lo mgangatho ungacacanga uvumela ukulibaziseka okubalulekileyo ekuzalisekiseni kwaye unikeze amathuba okuxhathisa.
Phezu kwazo nje izigqibo ezibini ezidibeneyo nezinononophelo, ukuba azicacanga, amagama, kwachaswa kakhulu isigqibo seNkundla Ephakamileyo kwiBrown v. Ibhodi yemfundo. Ukongeza kukwahlula amaqela acacileyo yayingabaphengululi abachasa amaqela ngokweziko lomgaqo-siseko ababevakalelwa ukuba isigqibo sasichasene nesithethe esisemthethweni ngokuthembela kakhulu kulwazi olunikezelwa zizazinzulu zezentlalo kunokuba kumiselwe umthetho. Abaxhasi bezomthetho wokuzithintela babekholelwa ukuba iNkundla yawagqitha amandla ayo ngokubhala ngokusisiseko umthetho omtsha.
Ukuchasa uBrown kwabonisa imiqathango yamandla okugweba ekusebenzeni kweenguqu zentlalo. Ngelixesha iNkundla ibinokuvakalisa ukuhlahlela ngaphandle komthetho, yayifuna intsebenziswano namanye amasebe karhulumente kunye nebutho labantu elibanzi ukuze kuzalisekiswe isigqibo sayo. Umthetho wamaPhondo, inyathelo lokulawula, kunye nezenzo zomsebenzi wobungcakaxhaka zaziyimfuneko zonke ukuguqulela umgaqo osemthethweni osungulwe eBrown kwidecimane yelinye izakhiwo zikawonke wonke.
Impembelelo Ebanzi Yamalungelo Abemi
Kodwa ukuphelisa ucalucalulo kwizikolo zikawonke-wonke zelizwe kwabangela inkqubela enkulu kumbutho wamalungelo abantu, yenza inkqubela enokwenzeka ekuhlawulweni kwezindlu, iindawo zokuhlala zikawonke-wonke, kunye namaziko emfundo ephezulu. Isigqibo sanika inkxaso esemthethweni neyokuziphatha kumbutho wamalungelo asekuhlaleni obanzi owavela ngowe-1950 nangoo1960, abaxhasi abakhuthazayo kunye nokunika isiseko somGaqo-siseko sokucel ’ umngeni ucalucalucalulo kuzo zonke iintlobo zawo.
Isigqibo seNkundla esiyelelanisiweyo kwiBrown kunye namatyala ayo anxulumeneyo salungisa indlela yokudibanisa kwaye yaba yeyona ndlela iphambili yoloyiso lombutho wamalungelo abantu, kwaye yaba ngumzekelo kumatyala amaninzi exesha elizayo achaza iziphumo ezitsha. Indlela yoluvo yequmrhu yaba ngoovulindlela nguThurfaup Marshall kunye neNaACP eLawulweniufense kwiBrown iveliswe kwimiba emininzi eyalandelayo ethetha ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo zocalucalucalulo nokwahluka.
Amandla oLawulo oluPhezulu nokuphendula koMongameli
Ulwalamano phakathi kwamasebe aphetheyo namasebe agwebayo luvavanywe ngokuphindaphindiweyo ukutyhubela imbali yaseMerika, namatyala aphawulayo amisela imigaqo ebalulekileyo ephathelele amandla omongameli nokuziphendulela. Ezi zigqibo zichane ukuba kwanoMongameli uphantsi komthetho kwaye umele athobele iimfuno zomGaqo-siseko kunye nomthetho.
IUnited States v. Nixon: Akukho Namnye Ongaphezu KoMthetho
I-United States v. Nixon (1974) yavela kwihlazo leWatergate, enye yezona ngxaki zomGaqo-siseko ezibalulekileyo kwimbali yaseMerika. Ityala lisekelwe ekubeni uMongameli Richard Nixon wayenokula ukuhambisana noonogada abangaphantsi kwekhasethi bezokurekhoda kunye namaxwebhu anxulumene neengxoxo zakhe kunye neenkxaso kunye nezixhasi.
UMongameli Nixon wathi unelungelo eliphezulu, ephikisa ngelithi uMongameli unelungelo elipheleleyo lokungalufumani ulwazi kwamanye amasebe karhulumente ukuze akhusele imfihlo yothungelwano lomongameli. Oku kwaphakamisa imibuzo esisiseko ngokwahlulwa kwamagunya nokuba uMongameli ungazibeka ngaphaya kwenkqubo yokugweba.
INkundla Ephakamileyo yavumelana nokungavumi kukaNixon ukuba unelungelo elipheleleyo elipheleleyo. INkundla yavuma ukuba kukho ilungelo eliphezulu kwaye iphumeza imisebenzi ebalulekileyo yomgaqo-siseko, kodwa yathi alikho limda. Xa ilungelo lingqubana neemfuno zomthetho wolwaphulo-mthetho, imfuneko engqalileyo yobungqina kwityala lolwaphulo-mthetho ingaphezulu komdla oqhelekileyo wokufihla imfihlo.
Isigqibo esivunyiweyo sokuba uMongameli akangaphezulu kumthetho kwaye umele athobele imiyalelo yokugweba, kwanaxa ukwenjenjalo kusenokuba konakalisa ngokwezobupolitika. Lo mgaqo wokuziphendulela komongameli uye waba lisiseko somthetho womgaqo-siseko waseMerika, uqinisa umthetho kunye nenkqubo yokuhlola nokulinganisela.
Ityala leNixon labonisa ukuvuma kwejaji ukulibeka igunya layo kwanakwiimeko ezichaphazelekayo zezobupolitika. Nangona kunokwenzeka ukuba uMongameli avume ukuthobela, iNkundla yakhupha umthetho ocacileyo nongenakugwetyelwa, yaye ekugqibeleni uNixon warhoxa kunokuba ajongene nokungavunyelwa.
Imida Yegunya Elilawulayo
Isigqibo seNixon esakhiwa kumatyala angaphambili awayemisele imida kumandla aphezulu. Kuyo yonke imbali yaseMerika, iNkundla ePhakamileyo iye yacelwa ukuba imisele imida yegunya lomongameli, ingakumbi ngexesha lemfazwe okanye ungxamiseko lwesizwe xa ooMongameli bethe bawabanga amandla awongezelelweyo.
La matyala avumile ukuba nangona uMongameli enegunya elibalulekileyo njengentloko yesigqeba esiphetheyo nesikhulu esilawulayo, eli gunya alingomgwebo. UMongameli kufuneka enze phakathi kwesiseko somGaqo-siseko nemithetho edluliselwe yiBhunga, kwaye ijaji linamandla okuhlola izenzo zesebe eliphetheyo ukuqinisekisa ukuba bayavumelana nezi migaqo-mthetho.
Okusesikweni Kwezaphuli - mthetho Namalungelo Abantu Ngabodwa
INkundla Ephakamileyo iye yadlala indima ebalulekileyo ekuchazeni amalungelo abantu abamangalelwe ngolwaphulo-mthetho, ichaza ukukhuselwa okukwiBhili yamaLungelo nokusetyenziswa kwabo kwimicimbi yolwaphulo-mthetho yaseburhulumenteni.
Miranda v. Arizona: Ukukhusela Ilungelo Ngokuchasene Nokuziphatha Okubi
Miranda v. Arizona (1966) sesinye sezigqibo zeNkundla Ephakamileyo ezaziwayo, emisela imfuneko yokuba amapolisa axele abantu amalungelo awo omGaqo-siseko ngaphambi kokuvavanya ityala lowiso-mthetho. Ityala lavela xa uErnesto Miranda wabanjwa waza wavunywa kwityala ngaphandle kokuxelelwa ngelungelo lakhe lokuthula okanye ilungelo lakhe kwigqwetha.
INkundla Ephakamileyo yathi ukukhuselwa koMphetho-mda wesihlanu ekuzichaseni ngokwayo kufuna ukuba amapolisa axelele abarhanelwe ngamalungelo abo ngaphambi kokuba bancinwe xa besentolongweni. INkundla yamisa izilumkiso ezingqalileyo ezimele zinikwe, kuquka ilungelo lokuhlala buthule, ukuba nantoni na ethethwayo isenokusetyenziswa ngokuchasene nomkroti enkundleni, ilungelo kwigqwetha, nelungelo lokutyunjwa ligqwetha ukuba umkrotileyo akanakukwazi ukuhlawula.
Isigqibo sikaMiranda siye sagxininisa kakhulu kwinkcubeko yamaMelika, ngesilumkiso esiqhelekileyo kumntu wonke oye wabukela iinkqubo zikamabonwakude okanye imifanekiso eshukumayo. Ngaphandle kwempembelelo yaso yenkcubeko, isigqibo silukhuseleko olubalulekileyo kumalungelo abantu ngabanye, siqinisekisa ukuba ukuvuma izono kuyinto yokuzithandela ngokwenene kwaye abarhanela ukuyiqonda imigaqo-siseko yabo.
Abahlalutyi bakaMiranda baye bathi kuphazamisa ukunyanzeliswa komthetho yaye kuvumela abantu abanetyala ukuba baphephe okusesikweni. Noko ke, abaxhasi bayavuma ukuba isigqibo sisenza kulungeleke phakathi kokugcinwa komthetho nokukhuselwa kwamalungelo omGaqo-siseko asebenzayo, nokuba ukuvuma izono okufunyanwa ngokunyanzelwa okanye ngaphandle kwezilumkiso ezifanelekileyo akuthembekanganyaniseki ngokwemvelo.
UGidiyon Wainwright: Ilungelo Lokucebisa
UGidiyon . Wainwright (1963) waqinisekisa ukuba isiqinisekiso soMnyuso weSithandathu seSindululo siyasebenza ekuqinisekiseni ilungelo lokucebisana netyala kwaye ufuna amaphondo ukunikezela ngamagqwetha abamangalelwa abangakwaziyo ukuqesha ababo. Eli tyala lalibandakanya uClarence Earl Gideon, owamangalelwa ngokuqhekeza nokungena eFlorida kwaye wacela ukuba inkundla imisele igqwetha ukuba limmele kuba akanakukwazi ukufikelela enye. Inkundla yetyala yalandula isicelo sakhe, kwaye uGidiyon wanyanzeleka ukuba aziphendulele kwityala lakhe.
INkundla ePhakamileyo yavumelana nembono yokuba ilungelo lokunika icebiso libalulekile kwityala elifanelekileyo yaye amatyala kufuneka anike amagqwetha abamangalelwa abagwebi abagwebayo kumatyala olwaphulo-mthetho. Esi sigqibo sakhokelela ekusungulweni kweenkqubo zokhuselo zikawonke-wonke kulo lonke ilizwe kwaye ngokusisiseko saguqula indlela abantu abakhusela ngayo izaphuli-mthetho.
Isigqibo sikaGidiyon saqonda ukuba inkqubo engokwasemthethweni intsonkothile yaye abantu abangaqeqeshwanga ngokusemthethweni abanakuzikhusela ngokunempumelelo kwizityholo zolwaphulo-mthetho.
UMthetho Wokuphelisa Ulwaphulo - mthetho NoMthetho Wesine Wokwenziwa Komthetho

Ityala lavela xa igosa laseAlabama lamangalela iNew York Times ngesibhengezo esasineempazamo eziyinyaniso ngokuphathelele ukuqhankqalaza kwamalungelo abantu eMzantsi.
INkundla ePhakamileyo yathi amagosa karhulumente akanako ukuzuza umonakalo ngenxa yeengxelo zobuqhetseba eziphathelele ihambo yawo esemthethweni ngaphandle kokuba angqine ukuba le ngxelo ibhalwe "ngezenzo zobubi"""----------------------------, ngokwazi ukuba yayibubuxoki okanye yayibubububudenge. Lo mgangatho unika ithuba lokuphefumla ukuze kukhutshelwe imicimbi kawonke wonke, uqonda ukuba iimpazamo ezithile azinakuphepheka kwiingxoxo ezimatyala kawonke-wonke.
Isigqibo seSullivan siye sadluliselwa kumanani kawonke-wonke angaphaya kwamagosa karhulumente, sidala inkqubo entlu - mbini yomthetho onika ukhuseleko olungakumbi kwimicimbi kawonke-wonke kunokuthetha ngabantu ngabanye. Esi siseko simisela ukulungelelaniswa komdla wokukhusela udumo ngokufuna ingxubusho engalawulekiyo ngemicimbi yoluntu.
Intetho Yomfuziselo Nehambo Ebonakalisa Isidima
INkundla Ephakamileyo iye yaqonda ukuba uMmiselo Wokuqala Womhlaba awukhuseli nje kuphela amazwi athethwayo nabhalweyo kodwa kwakhona intetho efuziselayo nehambo echazayo. ETexas kunye noJohnson (1999), iNkundla yathi ukutshisa indwe yaseMerika njengendlela yokuqhankqalaza kwezobupolitika kukhuselwa intetho phantsi koMphetho wokuqala.
Isigqibo sikaJohnson sasinempikiswano enkulu, ekubeni abantu abaninzi baseMerika babejonga ukutshiswa kweflegi njengehlazo elinzulu nelingakhuthaziyo. Noko ke, iNkundla yathi urhulumente akanakukwalela ukuchaza intetho ngenxa nje yokuba ibutho labantu liyibona ichasene okanye ingathandeki. Esi sigqibo saqinisekisa ukuba uMphengululo Wokuqala ukhusela kwanezona ndlela zingathandwayo.
Ezinye iimeko ziye zathetha ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo zokuthetha okomfuziselo, ukusuka ekunxibeni iintambo zokulwa ukubhijela imfazwe ukuya kukwala ukukhahlela iflegi kwizizathu zonqulo. Ezi zigqibo ziye zaqinisekisa ukuba ukhuseleko loMmiselo Wokuqala ludlulela ngaphaya kwendlela yonxibelelwano yesithethe ukuquka intlukwano ezininzi zemisebenzi yokuchaza.
Amalungelo Obuqu Nokuzenza Odwa
Nangona igama elithi "umthetho" lingaveli kumGaqo-siseko, iNkundla ePhakamileyo iye yaqonda ukuba imigaqo eyahlukeneyo yomgaqo-siseko ikhusela iinkalo ezithile zobuqu nezokuzilawula. Ezi zigqibo ziye zathetha ngemibandela ethanda impikiswano neyahlulayo kwibutho labantu baseMerika.
Griswold v. Connecticut: Ukumisela Ilungelo Lokuzifihla
