U.S. Constitution: Limiting Power*

50-2302

The Constitution was written to limit governmental intrusion on citizens’ liberties, while encouraging republican responsibility. This course will survey the Constitutional protections of all citizens and serve as a sounding board for the concerns, rights and responsibilities of Americans. Topics to be addressed and discussed include: support of civil rights in the courts; USA Patriot Act; individual rights to privacy. By the end of the semester, students will have a stronger and clearer understanding of government's impact on their lives.
