Answer 2

The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

Case: A landmark Supreme Court case in which appellant Dollree Mapp, who was convicted for possession of obscene materials after an admittedly illegal search of her home, appealed her conviction on the basis of freedom of expression. The questions before the court were 1) Were the confiscated materials protected by the First Amendment? and 2) May evidence obtained through a search in violation of the Fourth Amendment be admitted in a state criminal proceeding?

Conclusion: The court ignored the First Amendment issue and declared that "all evidence obtained by searches and seizures in violation of the Constitution is, by the Fourth Amendment, inadmissible in a state court." Ultimately, this decision extended the exclusionary rule for illegally obtained evidence to all levels of the government.
