POLS 34438 Constitutional Law: Rights and Liberties

Investigates the legal and political context influencing the exercise of fundamental rights and liberties. It is a study of the lines that must be drawn by a democratic society as it attempts to reconcile individual freedom with the rights of the community. In so doing it examines the way in which the U.S. Constitution, as judicially interpreted, has shaped the American concepts of civil liberties and civil rights. (S, odd years)
