Excerpt from Human Rights in the United StatesIn this pamphlet, the Author has selected several key areas of human rights in the United States and has attempted to present the issues (for the most part) as they were submitted to, and adjudicated by, the Supreme Court. This approach has a number of advantages. In the first place, the many rights which are part of the American heritage can be understood most clearly when a con¿ict or issue develops as to their meaning, and an umpire is called in to decide the case. Then, and only then, can we truly see the nature, scope, and limitations of our rights. More over, basing the discussion on judicial decisions, which involve interesting and often dramatic human situations, has the effect of personalizing the subject matter. The generalities, abstractions, and rather remote formulations which often characterize studies in this field are not likely to attract or hold the attention of high school students.The text of this pamphlet is supplemented with a variety of visual material, designed to arouse the student's interest and to point up the historical background and implications of the subject matter. Each chapter is followed by a group of Things to Do, including thought questions, recommended reading, suggestions for classroom discussion and debate, and many other activities.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
