Connection to Constitution: 4th Amendment-Search and Seizure
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."


Explanation of Constitution: This article is about how the senator and representatives ignored the 4th amendment to punish Major League Baseball and other professional leagues for not imposing penalties on players for testing positive for performance enhancing drugs.


This article demonstrates the 4th amendment Search and Seizure in the United States Constitution. The 4th Amendment gives people the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects. Their 4th Amendment should not be violated.


I only believe that people playing in sports should get tested for steroids. Many people who do steroids are hurting themselves and steroids can cause people to do some bad things to the people they love. So i think that atletes should get tested even if it is violation their 4th amendment.

I think the police should be able to search and seize people's belongings only if it harming others and they should have a Warrant not just a random search on their property. I agree that steroids can harm the user and their loved ones also.
