This book provides a comprehensive examination of arbitrary state action post-September 11, 2001, combining detailed examinations of specific legislation with watershed coverage of issues such as freedom of speech, press, and religion as well as various aspects of criminal law and procedure. This text presents documents from Britain, the American colonial period, the Founding period, and the modern era, including recent Supreme Court cases. The author provides an accompanying analysis of each document, providing insightful historical context and ramifications of the decisions and the laws passed. 410 0$aDocumentary and reference guides. 606 $aCivil rights$zUnited States$xHistory$vSources 615 0$aCivil rights$xHistory 676 $a342.7308/5 700 $aLatimer$b Christopher P$01806362 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956501303321 996 $aCivil liberties and the state$94355496 997 $aUNINA
