    Civil Liberties and Civil Rights I chose the category Freedom of Religion because I find the many different religions followed in America fascinating. I enjoy learning about them all and expanding my knowledge of the rituals and celebrations different religions participate in. I chose The Free Exercise Clause sub category because I find how even though the first amendment provides freedom of religion it does not give freedom of all religious practices such as polygamy and sacrifice.

(25 mark) The Supreme Court is the only branch of government which is unelected and therefore unaccountable‚ but appoints members for life. These characteristics have been criticised for being out of place in a democratic country such as the United States; especially due to the power the Supreme Court has‚ such as the power of judicial review.

If in other lands the press and books and literature of all kinds are censored‚ we must redouble our efforts here to keep them free. If in other lands the eternal truths of the past are threatened by intolerance‚ we must provide a safe place for their perpetuation." Franklin Delano Roosevelt‚ 1938 (Isaacs 66) Freedom of speech

    States government has a right to increase the power of the federal power to combat terrorism through the U.S. Patriot Act after the 9/11 attacks and this also applies to any terrorist threats‚ but I more strongly believe that each U.S. citizen has the right to his/her own privacy. There will be always an opportunity cost between personal privacy and security‚ but both of these must be used in moderation. For example‚ I don’t believe that the Bush administration had the right to allow the NSA to eavesdrop
