Should citizens arrests be allowed? why?

This dependssee explanation  below:

Explanation:

This could go one of two ways, if allowed.

A) People would go crazy arresting people for minor offenses or absolute nonsense, and police stations would be filled with people in handcuffs for going 6 over the speed limit. And when people are given power, it makes them think that they're now able to use force in unneccesary situations. We'd have chaos in the streets.

B) Cops don't always do their job, and there are good people out there who can help. If some creep is disturbing a young woman on the sidewalk at night and takes it way too far, a good samaritan could come by and arrest him, taking care of the problem right then and there.

It really does depend on the situation, which is why it may not be a good idea.

Could we really trust everyone to use this for good?

b) a state law could be declared illegal if it contradicted the constitution.

explanation:

the conflict of this case originated when james w. mcculloch, a cashier of the baltimore branch of the second bank of the united states that the congress had chartered in 1816, refused to pay a tax imposed by the maryland state.

in the case, the state of maryland appealed that the establishment of a second bank was unconstitutional since the constitution didn't say anything about granting that power to congress. however, the case determined that even if such right wasn't specifically stated in the constitution, it was part of the "implied powers" of the government enunciated in article i, section 8.

the case also eliminated maryland's legislation to impose taxes to a national bank, asserting that even though the states retained the power of taxation, the constitution's laws are supreme and can not be controlled by the states, therefore, if a state law contradicts the constitution, it should be declared illegal.

explanation:

d is the best answer for this question.
