Topic: Moore v. Texas | Oyez (2017)- 8th Amendment (cruel and unusual punishment; mental disability/death penalty)

Paragraph #1

1. PARAGRAPH ONE: Provide a brief summary (background details/context) of the case.

WHO are the parties involved (who's suing whom)

WHY is one party appealing to the Supreme Court?

WHAT is that party's legal claim?

HOW would they want the court to rule?

Paragraph #2

2. PARAGRAPH TWO: What did the Supreme Court decide, i.e., what was the final "Opinion of the Court" (it's always the first opinion when reading a case) and what was its ruling? (I emphasize "Supreme Court" because students may erroneously confuse lower court decisions with the final Supreme Court ruling. You need to write primarily about the U.S. Supreme Court decision.

Paragraph #3

3. PARAGRAPH THREE: Finally, share your preliminary thoughts on the Supreme Court's decision - do you agree or disagree? Explain why. Be more specific than "I agree with the Supreme Court's decision because it's the right decision."

Please respond to paragraph 1, paragraph 2, and paragraph 3 of what is asked. Please, I already choose what topic and it should be pretty easy! It would mean a lot to me. Please follow along with what is asked of the questions in each paragraph. Thanks ! I will upvote once it is completed. I need it thoroughly and thoughtfully, if anyone is knowledgeable.
