After watching The Trial of Aaron Bum and reviewing the written overview of the trial, compare and contrast Burrs decision to take land from the federal government and make himself emperor to the situation that arose in January, 2016, at the federal bird sanctuary outside Burns, Oregon. Provide and explain at least two similarities and two differences between the two situations. Then, explain why Marshall’s belief that the rule of law was paramount to the will of the people might apply differently to the facts in the Oregon situation, than to the Burr situation.
