GOV211 Civil Rights & Liberties
This course will examine the role of individual rights and liberties in American society within the framework of the US Constitution. Supreme Court decisions will be analyzed in regard to political and civil rights including freedom of speech, press, assembly and religion, obscenity, race and sex discrimination, and criminal procedure. The paradox of freedom is essentially the core around which lectures, discussion and research will be conducted.
