| Abstract | "Civil liberties enable people to speak their minds and to express their displeasure at certain laws or actions from the government. However, they are also sometimes endangered. This volume breaks down the most important civil liberties, examining ways the law may threaten or uplift them, and highlights the people involved in making sure they are protected when needs arise. Using sidebars, annotated quotes from experts, and critical thinking questions, readers develop a comprehensive understanding of civil liberties in modern society, forming their own opinions about basic freedoms and shaping them into more active citizens"-- Provided by publisher. |
