Civil Liberties – American Government
Instructions
The framers of the Constitution believed they were creating a national government of strictly limited powers. Therefore, they felt that it should not be necessary to make a special list of those things the government could do regarding speech or press. However, they suspected—rightly, as it turned out—that the government might well try to act in ways it was not expressly authorized to act, and they insisted that a list of things that government should not do become part of the constitution. Hence, the Bill of Rights was added shortly after the Constitution was ratified. These rights, originally intended only for federal application and enforcement, have since been broadened to apply to more and more state cases regarding civil liberties. When you read this chapter, keep in mind the importance of the Bill of Rights and the impact it has had on today’s American society. Consider what our government and society would be like without the Bill of Rights.
