ABSTRACT
Under the US Constitution, individuals are guaranteed freedom of expression and the right to a fair trial. These rights have been extended by the Supreme Court's ruling throughout the country's history. A significant development was the protection of rights from action by state and local governments. The basis for this amendment was the court's interpretation of the 14th Amendment due process clause. This study examines these developments and explains the individual rights of modern Americans. In addition, important Supreme Court decisions such as freedom of speech and protection from unjustified search and seizure are being discussed as a means of clarifying American civil liberties. Civil rights refer to the right of all to be equally protected under the law and to have fair access to social opportunities. Although American rights are theoretically equal, historically disadvantaged groups (including women and minorities) have struggled to achieve a higher level of equality. This study focuses on three policies that have helped expand the rights and opportunities of disadvantaged groups. The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and affirmative action. The end of these guidelines is particularly controversial, including a recent Supreme Court ruling in a case involving the University of Texas at Austin.
