Both Weeks v. U.S. and Mapp v. Ohio were decided based on the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, which protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. Weeks v. U.S. established the principle of exclusionary rule, which prohibits unlawfully obtained evidence from being used in court. Mapp v. Ohio extended this principle to state courts, requiring them to exclude evidence obtained through unreasonable searches and seizures.
