Driven by the growing reality of international terrorism, the
threats to civil liberties and individual rights in America are
greater today than at any time since the McCarthy era in the 1950s.
At this critical time when individual freedoms are being weighed
against the need for increased security, this exhaustive
three-volume set provides the most detailed coverage of
contemporary and historical issues relating to basic rights covered
in the United States Constitution. The Encyclopedia of Civil
Liberties in America examines the history and hotly contested
debates surrounding the concept and practice of civil liberties. It
provides detailed history of court cases, events, Constitutional
amendments and rights, personalities, and themes that have had an
impact on our freedoms in America. The Encyclopedia appraises the
state of civil liberties in America today, and examines growing
concerns over the limiting of personal freedoms for the common
good. Complete with selected relevant documents and a chronology of
civil liberties developments, and arranged in A-Z format with
multiple indexes for quick reference, The Encyclopedia of Civil
Liberties in America includes in-depth coverage of: freedom of
speech, religion, press, and assembly, as outlined in the first
amendment; protection against unreasonable search and seizure, as
outlined in the fourth amendment; criminal due process rights, as
outlined in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth amendments;
property rights, economic liberties, and other rights found within
the text of the United States Constitution; Supreme Court justices,
presidents, and other personalities, focusing specifically on their
contributions to or effect on civil liberties; concepts, themes,
and events related to civil liberties, both practical and
theoretical; court cases and their impact on civil liberties.
