Civil Rights & Liberties: Crash Course Government & Politics #23

Spread The Viralist



Today, Craig is going to give you an overview of civil rights and civil liberties. Often these terms are used interchangeably, but they are actually very different. Our civil liberties, contained in the Bill of Rights, once only protected us from the federal government, but slowly these liberties have been incorporated to protect us from the states. We’ll take a look at how this has happened and the supreme court cases that got us here.

    4. What does the fourteenth amendment state? Why is it so important?

    No state shall abridge on the rights listed in the constitution, equal protection, etc. Is is important because before citizens may be protected from unjust punishment by the national government, but there was nothing stopping the states.

    5. What is selective incorporation?

    Means that cases of states infringing on rights are reviewed on a case by case basis by the Supreme Court, but it only happens for each ruling once.

  3. ok this is completely irrelevant and holds no educational value but I'm going to say it anyways, the fact that Craigs mom in the thought bubble also has a beard made me laugh in the middle of the night, which I'm pretty sure woke my brother up and now I'm scared T=T

  4. Listen up people they who ever read this HAYNEVILLE and Montgomery covered this up for what they did to me . They set me up with a trap to pay my enemies off. The cover up what they did to me and my kids by telling PEOPLE that we deserved to be KILLED
