PS 212 - Civil Liberties

Institution:

Hilbert College

Subject:

Description:

We take our rights for granted, e.g., free speech, assembly, and religion. It is important to know how these rights are defined, how they are acquired, and how they can be lost. In this course, students will be introduced to civil liberties as they exist in the United States and around the globe. In order to understand civil liberties in the United States, attention will be paid to Supreme Court rulings on civil liberties, which includes a discussion of the facts, legal issues, and constitutional questions. Using a comparative approach, rights in other countries will also be explored, including abuses of civil liberties.
