Description - Civil Liberties by Debbie Levy
In the U.S. system of government, the majority rules, yet the minority, down to the last individual is protected from majority rule. The key to this paradox is the Bill of Rights, which guarantees that even a democratically elected government may not trample on the freedoms that we call civil liberties. Where government authority ends and individual freedom begins is a hotly debated question, whether the controversy concerns freedom of speech or religious liberty or the right to privacy. Civil liberties battles involve high stakes and principles, as well as human emotion and ingenuity, all of which come into sharp focus in this volume.
