This title undertakes an impartial, authoritative, and in-depth
examination of the moral arguments and ideas behind the laws and
policies that govern personal, corporate, and government behavior
in the United States. This A–Z encyclopedia surveys the moral
arguments that provide the foundation for many of the most
important and/or divisive laws, policies, and beliefs that govern
modern American society. The work discusses such controversial and
important issues as abortion, civil rights, drugs and alcohol,
euthanasia, guns, hate crimes, immigration, immunization, natural
resource use and protection, prostitution, same-sex marriage, and
workplace laws. In the process of surveying historical and current
beliefs about appropriate legislative responses to these issues,
this work will help readers to understand how conservative and
liberal conceptions of justice, fairness, and morality are at the
center of so many hot-button political and social issues in 21st
century America. The essays featured in the volume cover
wide-ranging and controversial topics related to constitutional and
religious freedoms, crime and punishment, sexuality and
reproduction, environmental protection and public health, national
security and civil liberties, social welfare programs, and
education.
