Supreme Court Usurps Individual Rights : A 5 page
paper
that argues the following: over the years, individual rights have
been denied by the Supreme Court. In the criminal justice
system, this has lead to the relaxing of laws to the extent that
our Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights have been seriously
infringed upon. All rights to personal freedoms in the
workplace have been taken away by the Supreme Court, and
womens rights to abortion have been substantially reduced.
The remaining issue for many of us is the Supreme Courts
decision on First Amendment rights in regards to imposed
decency on the Internet. This decision is expected within the
next month. We can only hope it is not their desire to usurp
further rights from United States citizenry. The affect on global
Internet business is inestimable. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Censorship In School Is Not Right : 6 pages in
length.
To be told what is permissible reading material and what is not

Yet all across the country, school library shelves are being
stripped of books that certain individuals and groups deem as
unacceptable. Censorship is alive and well in the United States;
its ripple effect on America's students is often as damaging as
reading one of many so-called controversial books. The writer
reveals why censorship in today's schools is both a violation of
First Amendment rights, as well as a ploy for radicals and
liberals alike to control the minds of our children. Schlcens.wps
