ANSWER TO CRITICAL THINKING QUESTION IN THE FEATURE
ETHICS TODAY—CRITICAL THINKING
1. Should convicted criminals in Louisiana and Oregon be able to obtain retrials if they have been convicted
in a 10-2 vote of a jury? Why or why not?
Answer: Those who support the Supreme Court decision in Ramos would argue that yes, any person
convicted in Louisiana or Oregon by a 10-5 jury vote should have the ability to appeal. Afterall, if the
non-unanimous jury system in those two states was deemed unconstitutional in 2020, it was clearly
unconstitutional in all prior years.
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS IN THE PRACTICE AND REVIEW FEATURE AT THE
END OF THE CHAPTER
Suppose that the California legislature passes a law that severely restricts carbon dioxide emissions from
automobiles in that state. A group of automobile manufacturers files suit against the state of California to prevent
the enforcement of the law. The automakers claim that a federal law already sets fuel economy standards
nationwide and that fuel economy standards are essentially the same as carbon dioxide emission standards.
According to the automobile manufacturers, it is unfair to allow California to impose more stringent regulations
than those set by the federal law. Using the information presented in the chapter, answer the following questions.
1. Who are the parties (the plaintiffs and the defendant) in this lawsuit?
Answer: The automobile manufacturers are the plaintiffs, and the state of California is the defendant.
