Summary

This updated edition examines the impact of significant Supreme Court decisions on the rights and freedoms of the individual. Focusing primarily on the 20th century, and current through the 1995-1996 term, the book provides full coverage of the freedoms outlined in the Bill of Rights, including modern equality issues such as affirmative action and rights allowed illegal immigrants to the United States. The Supreme Court and Individual Rights begins with an overview of individual rights and covers four main topics: Freedom for Ideas, The Rights of Political Participation, Due Process and Criminal Rights, and Equal Rights and Personal Liberties. Appendixes include a glossary of legal terms, an explanation of how to read a legal citation, and biographies of the justices.
