Written Assignment. After completing all the reading assignments, resources and videos, especially those that relate to the Boston Marathon bombing case, please read and answer both of the following questions.

• Do you believe that the “Public Safety” exception to the Miranda requirement applies in this matter? Why or why not? Give reasons to support your position.
• You have been given the power to change the Constitution with respect to the rights available to those accused of terrorism. Would you change any of the Constitutional rights currently available? Which ones and why? Would you apply the same standard to those accused of other crimes, such as mass murderers?
