For this assignment, you will research and analyze a US Supreme Court case, New York Times Co. v. United States (1971). Background Information

Familiarizing yourself with key Supreme Court cases will help you understand the philosophical underpinnings, significant legal precedents, and political values of the US political system. As you analyze each case, you will need to draw on your understanding of the relationships among the branches of government, the major principles of our Constitution and the policy-making process. Additionally, these cases may be the focus of AP® exam questions.

You will research a Supreme Court case and answer questions related to the background facts and lower court rulings, including the reasoning, decision, and opinion(s) for each case. Additionally, you will be asked to explain how the required Supreme Court case relates to the Constitution, other foundational documents, or primary and secondary sources. As part of your analysis, you may also be asked to consider how Supreme Court cases have set precedents for later decisions.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
