Civil Rights Violations are
Against the Law
Spelled out in the U. S.
Constitution's Bill of Rights (the first 10 Amendments) are the
civil rights of each and every citizen of the United States.
These include:
1) The right to freedom of
expression (First Amendment)
2) The right to choose a
religion (First Amendment)
3) The right to bear arms
(Second Amendment)
4) The right to be protected
from unreasonable search and seizure (Fourth Amendment)
5) The right to due process
of law (Fifth Amendment)
6) The right to a speedy
trial, a trial by jury and the right to counsel (Sixth Amendment)
7) The right to be protected
from cruel and unusual punishment (Eighth Amendment)
8) The right to equal
protection under the law (Fourteenth Amendment)
While not enshrined in the
Constitution, two important legislative acts further protect the
civil rights of citizens:
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prevents
discrimination in public schools and colleges, and Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act prohibits employment discrimination.
