    Citizens of the United States are privileged to the all rights granted to them by the constitution, meaning that every citizen has equal rights under this document. In majority of cases citizens are able to partake in these rights as stated by the constitution, but there is a group of people that the rights do not extend to. A child has minimal rights because of their age and inexperience with life events. Children do not have rights that granted to them by the constitution instead it up to the minor's guardian to advocate for them until the are of age. The treated of children there have been the subject of several cases that ended up in higher courts and have gone as far as the Supreme Courts to obtain a final ruling. A majority of these cases have bases of the first and fourth amendment the freedom of speech and the search and seizure. Every citizen in this country is born with rights granted to them where does it stipulate that there must be a age limit.

This case was about two girls that were caught smoking in the bathroom which they had been asked about earlier and they denied it. This time they were caught, and brought to the principal’s office where he took the girls purse and emptied it. When he did this he found cigarettes, drug paraphernalia such as a marijuana pipe and marijuana. There was also a list of people that owed her money with a lot of money with the list. So in this case the deductive logic was used as a premise that this girl was not using drugs but also selling them at school. The inductive side of logic in this case was that the data that was found upon researching this was found to support the deductive logic.
