If you find something that’s not technically a conflict, but is interesting to you, that’s fine! Here are some interesting Constitutional issues:
– Can cities impose mask mandates? Is this even a Constitutional issue, why or why not?
– Can a state make laws that put a greater burden on minority residents (think voting restrictions)?
– Should mandatory draft registration be imposed on both men and women?
Citing your sources. If you are not a Legal Studies student, you may use whatever citation system your major uses. If you are a Legal Studies student, you must use Bluebook and use footnotes.
