McCulloch v. Maryland
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In 1961, citing the ACLU’s arguments, the Supreme Court reversed Mapp’s conviction and adopted the exclusionary rule as a national standard. As important as it is to convict criminals, the Supreme Court in Mapp rightly insisted that the Constitution must not be trampled in the process.

Detailed explanation-2: -The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 5-3 vote in favor of Mapp. The high court said evidence seized unlawfully, without a search warrant, could not be used in criminal prosecutions in state courts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mapp v. Ohio was a 1961 landmark Supreme Court case decided 6–3 by the Warren Court, in which it was held that Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures applied to the states and excluded unconstitutionally obtained evidence from use in state criminal prosecutions.

Detailed explanation-4: -1/Mapp v. Ohio, ——-367 U.S. 643 (1961), applied the exclusion-ary rule to the States as a matter of Federal constitu-tional law.
