US Term Limits v. Thornton—Majority v. Dissent
The Issue in US Term Limits v. Thornton was whether the Constitution allows states to add qualifications for its representatives (i.e. Arkansas did not want to allow one of its federal representatives to serve for more than two terms, thereby adding term limits to their federal representatives). After reading the case, 1. Compare and Contrast the Majority and Dissent opinions. 2. Which do you believe correctly analyzed the issue? 3. What method of constitutional interpretation did that position use to support its reasoning? 4. What constitutional ideas support the position you agree with? 5. In other words, should individual States be allowed to change the qualifications for their own representatives in Congress? 6. Why or why not?
