Civil Liberties and Civil Rights Unit

Class. If you have nothing better to do tomorrow, crack open Sabato and read the first fifteen or so pages of Chapter 5 on Civil Liberties. Sabato defines "Civil Liberties" as the personal guarantees and freedoms that the federal government cannot abridge (take away) by law, constitution, or judicial interpretation. Civil Liberties are intimately linked to the first ten amendments to the US Constitution also known as the Bill of Rights. For Monday, I will show you a video on one Civil Liberties' issue (Prayer in Schools) for your first day back from Spring Break.

I'll hold off on giving you a Sabato quiz on Chapter 5 until Tuesday. You can find that quiz on my website in the workspace (Civil Liberties Quiz #1). See you Tuesday.
