B. established the exclusionary rule.
C. efforts by interest groups to influence policy 
and policy makers

E. process by which the courts have used the 
14th Amendment to apply the restrictions of 
the Bill of Rights against each state, but on

of the Constitution thought, meant, and wrote.
J. ordered that districts of elected representatives 
must be redrawn after each census to make sure 
that they are equal in population to guarantee 
'equal representation.'
K. even given acceptance of a belief in the 
rationality of behavior of citizens, these make 
it very difficult for people who have real lives 
to be fully informed as a basis for their 
political activities.
L. in 1954, the Supreme Court ruled 
that segregation was unconstitutional.
M. theory that periodic shifts in the electorate 
occur which toward one political party or philosophy.
N. the segmented competing interest groups which 
work to influence policy may result in a deadlock 
of sorts in policy.
O. campaign funds funneled into parties of 
campaign commitees legally but in ways to 
overcome restrictions on contributions written 
into the election law.

throughout the media community.
T. piecemeal enactment of policy which occurs 
because of the intense competition among interests.

and the bureaucrats charged with carrying them out.
V. 'legalized' abortion.
W. concept in the law which holds that 
extra-constitutional devices and measures 
can be applied in interpreting the law 
by the courts.
X. theory that many of those who do not vote 
are too busy with their own lives to pay attention 
to the political events of the period, and which 
holds that people are rational political actors 
who will become politically active if their interests 
are threatened -- the Framers had this theory in mind 
when they sat up a limited government whuch would be 
constrained from interferring with peoples' lives 
and activities as much as possible.
Y. "You have the right to an attorney. 
If you cannot afford one, one will be
