Download or read book Civil Liberties in America written by Samuel Walker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-04-15 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise, authoritative guide to civil liberties issues in American society, from freedom of speech and religious liberty to due process, equal protection, and privacy. Written for a general audience, this work clearly defines civil liberties and explains their legal basis in the Bill of Rights, state constitutions, legal statutes, and administrative regulations. It reviews the subject's history from 1917 to the present, and covers the full range of civil liberties issues: the First Amendment, due process, equal protection, and privacy.

The coverage also examines conflicting civil liberties issues such as hate speech, which pits one person's freedom of expression against another's right to equal protection.
