Which of the following cases impacted Fourth Amendment protections at the state level?

1. Mapp v Ohio

2. Bush

3. Roe v Wade

4. District of Columbia v Heller

The correct answer is: Mapp v Ohio

Mapp v Ohio was a significant case that impacted Fourth Amendment protections at the state level by establishing the exclusionary rule, which states that evidence obtained through illegal search and seizure cannot be used in court. This case was a landmark decision that extended the protections of the Fourth Amendment to state courts, as it previously only applied to federal courts. Bush, Roe v Wade, and District of Columbia v Heller do not directly pertain to Fourth Amendment protections at the state level and thus are incorrect options. Bush refers to a person's last name and is not a relevant court case. Roe v Wade established a woman's constitutional right to have an abortion, which does not relate to Fourth Amendment protections. District of Columbia v Heller focused on the Second Amendment right to bear arms, which does not pertain to the Fourth Amendment.
