Download or read book Taking Liberties written by Robert Boston and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A concise and lucid explanation of what religious freedom is and isn'tncreasingly, conservative religious groups are using religious liberty as a sword to lash out at others. In this forcefully argued defense of the separation of church and state, Robert Boston makes it clear that the religious freedom guaranteed in the First Amendment is an individual right, the right of personal conscience, not a license allowing religious organizations to discriminate against and control others. The book examines the controversy over birth control, same-sex marriage, religion in public schools, the intersection of faith and politics, and the "war on Christmas," among other topics. Boston concludes with a series of recommendations for resolving clashes between religious liberty claims and individual rights."
Download or read book State of Defiance written by Judith Poucher and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Florida Historical Society Harry T. & Harriette V. Moore Award Drawing on previously unpublished sources and newly unsealed records, Judith Poucher profiles five individuals who stood up to the Johns Committee. Virgil Hawkins and Ruth Perry were civil rights activists who, respectively, foiled the committee’s plans to stop integration at the University of Florida and refused to divulge Florida and Miami NAACP records. G. G. Mock, a bartender in Tampa, was arrested and shackled in the nude by police but would not reveal the name of her girlfriend, a teacher. University of Florida professor Sig Diettrich was threatened with twenty years in prison and being "outed," yet he still would not name names. Margaret Fisher, a college administrator, helped to bring the committee's investigation of the University of South Florida into the open, publicly condemning their bullying. By reexamining the daring stands taken by these ordinary citizens, Poucher illustrates not only the abuses propagated by the committee but also the collective power of individuals to effect change.

Download or read book The Trade off Between Civil Liberties and Security in the United States and Germany After 9 11 01 written by Cora Zeugmann and published by Diplomica Verlag. This book was released on 2008-12 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der 11. September 2001 hat die Welt ver ndert. Sowohl in den USA als auch in Deutschland haben die Terroranschl ge die Menschen nachhaltig in Angst versetzt. Anhand einer Untersuchung von Meinungsumfragen wird gezeigt, dass dies die Bereitschaft der Bev lkerung, Einschr nkungen von b rgerlichen Freiheiten zugunsten gesteigerter Sicherheitsbedingungen hinzunehmen, verst rkt hat. Dabei fanden vor allem Ma nahmen, die sich kollektiv oder auf Individuen ungeliebter Gesellschaftsgruppen auswirken Zuspruch. Es wird gezeigt, dass die F rsprecher st rkerer Sicherheitsbedingungen in beiden L ndern diese sich bietende Gelegenheit genutzt haben, um weitreichende Gesetzes nderungen wie den USA PATRIOT ACT und die deutschen Antiterrorgesetze I und II durchzusetzen. Diese Gesetze implementieren Ma nahmen, die zuvor jahrelang erfolgreich von Verfechtern b rgerlicher Freiheiten abgewehrt wurden. Anhand einer Untersuchung der berwachungsgesetze beider L nder vor und nach dem 11. September wird belegt, dass Voraussetzungen f r eine effektive staatliche Kontrolle, sowohl im geheimdienstlichen als auch Kriminalit tsbek mpfungssektor bereits vor 2001 vorhanden waren. Weiterhin wird dargestellt, dass die Anschl ge dazu genutzt wurden, Befugnisse der Exekutive zu st rken und gleichzeitig, vor allem in den USA aber zunehmend auch in Deutschland einer gerichtlichen Kontrolle zu entziehen. Dar ber hinaus werden die harschen Folgen f r "ungewollte" oder "verd chtige" Ausl nder nachgewiesen, indem die Behandlung Fremder vor dem 11. September mit dem Ausma der amerikanischen "Wegsperrtaktik" und dem deutschen Ansatz der grundrechtsfeindlichen und nahezu absoluten Daten berwachung nach den Terroranschl gen verglichen wird. Anhand immer weiter reichender Gesetzesvorschl ge, wie der, der zur erfolgreich eingef hrten Antiterrordatei in Deutschland und dem gescheiterten "PATRIOT Act II" in den USA gef hrt hat, wird des Weiteren die Annahme untermauert, dass die Verschiebung des Gleichgewichtes zwi

Download or read book Liberty Liberalism A Protest Against Th written by Bruce Smith and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2006-12-01 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only major study and defense of Adam Smith-style liberalism in Australia, this 1887 work, a long-forgotten classic once again entering the spotlight, is, in the words of author BRUCE SMITH (1851-1937), an Australian lawyer and politician, "a protest against the growing tendency toward undue interference by the state, with individual liberty, private enterprise and the rights of property." Now considered one of the great overlooked intellectuals of the Victorian era, Smith here advocates government withdrawal from social and economic issues, seeing the solution to the misery of the world not in "the iron hand of an act of parliament" but in humanitarianism. With the debate about the proper role of government continues today, this remains a powerful argument for laissez-faire policies.
Download or read book Liberty and Union written by Edgar J. McManus and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 683 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This, the first of two volumes of Liberty and Union, is a comprehensive constitutional history of the United States from the Anglo-American origins of the Constitution through the colonial and antebellum periods, to the Civil War and the consequent restructuring of the nation. Written in a clear and engaging narrative style, it successfully unites thorough chronological coverage with a thematic approach, offering critical analysis of core constitutional history topics, set in the political, social, and economic context that made them constitutional issues in the first place. Combining a thoughtful and balanced narrative with an authoritative stance on key issues, the authors explain the past in the light of the past, without imposing upon it the standards of later generations. Authored by two experienced professors of History and Law this textbook has been thoughtfully constructed to offer an accessible alternative to dense scholarly works – avoiding unnecessary technical jargon, defining legal terms and historical personalities where appropriate, and making explicit connections between constitutional themes and historical events. For students in an undergraduate or postgraduate constitutional history course, or anyone with a general interest in constitutional developments, this book will be essential reading. Useful features include: Full glossary of legal terminology Recommended reading A table of cases Extensive supporting artwork Companion website Useful documents provided: Declaration of Independence Articles of Confederation Constitution of the United States of America Chronological list of Supreme Court justices
