The Rights We Have

Osmond K. Fraenkel

4.9/5 (30146 ratings)

Description:A NOTE OF WARNING FROM "THE RIGHTS WE HAVE": In many areas local law enforcement agencies and sometimes even local judges act as though the Supreme Court had never laid down any rule governing a particular situation. This fact is due mostly to ignorance, frequently to prejudice, sometimes to willfulness. Too often police and prosecuting officials proceed on the theory that the persons caught in their nets have neither the knowledge nor the means to fight illegal practices. In these pages, a distinguished lawyer who has dedicated his life to the cause of civil liberties tells you, in clear, everyday language, what you can and cannot safely do under the law....-----------------------SECOND EDITIONRevised to include the most important decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court through 1973The United States was born as a protest against the oppressive use of governmental power. Its founders proclaimed their "inalienable rights" in the Declaration of Independence and enumerated them in the first ten amendments to the Constitution. Subsequently, Congress has added to them, and the Supreme Court has extended them through its interpretations. The Rights We Have explains these rights in clear, everyday language and in convenient form. An activist planning a demonstration or a quiet citizen defending his privacy can turn to this book to find out what he can and cannot safely do under the law. None of the civil liberties defined here can be lawfully denied to any American by federal, state, or local authority. Most of this handbook is devoted to those many laws that insure personal freedom and equal treatment and to those that protect special groups, such as labor unions, aliens, witnesses before federal or state committees. (The section on freedom of expression alone deals with twenty-one separate subjects.) The procedures through which the law operates--"due process"--are detailed from arrest through appeal and beyond. A final section explains the correct legal procedures by which a citizen can make sure that his constitutional rights will be considered by the courts. The governmental machinery involved is reviewed historically in an introductory section.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
