Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses due process of the law, which is a term that has been used for many years. The writer notes that the general principle of this term is that everyone is entitled to a day in court when he or she has been accused or charged with a violation of the law. In addition, the due process of law mandates the belief that each person's case should be fully explored and heard before any judgment is rendered with regard to that case. The writer explains that the due process of law protects people from being deprived of their life, liberty or property as well as any rights that have been given to them by legislation or statute. The writer concludes that with illegal immigration being a hot topic throughout the nation it is important to understand how due process and equal protection of the law impacts those immigrants.

Equal Protection of the Law
Conclusion
From the Paper
"This is interesting because for many years after the development of the constitution, African Americans were not treated equally. When they finally one the right to vote, their vote only counted as two thirds of a whole vote and they were allowed to be forced to sit at the back of the buses, and sent to Black only schools and other places that were designed specifically for that race. When it came to the law they were also discriminated against as they were treated differently in courts and jails and not afforded the same right to jury trials as their white counterparts were."
"Eventually this was challenged enough times that law makers made it clear all people meant all people, not just whites, or men or a certain economic group. It meant each and every person is to be afforded the same protection by the same laws."

"HISTORICAL EVOLUTION OF THE DUE PROCESS CLAUSE
This research paper outlines, summarizes and analyzes the historical evolution of the Due Process Clause(s) of the U.S. Constitution. The interpretations given by the American Supreme Court to these clauses in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments have served significantly to adapt the Constitution to changing conditions. During the first 100 years of the Republic, the Due Process Clause was interpreted narrowly as a procedural safeguard and contributed little to the resolution of the principal jurisprudential problem, the adjustment of the relations between the national and state governments. During the period 1890 to 1937, substantive due process largely in the service of private property and commercial interests and later as a tool for delineating the contours of the welfare state helped define the ..."

Crime Control Vs. Due Process, 2008.
The paper discusses how the crime control and due process points of view contribute valuable elements to systems of justice.

Abstract
The paper explains that a strict crime control focus in penal regulation could virtually ensure the complete elimination of crime in society as well as certain punishment for all violators. The paper explains further that to balance this, the due process perspective prohibits deprivation of the individual's property or liberty without established procedures or processes governing the proper exercise of police authority.
Outline:
Introduction
Balancing the Interests of Crime Control and Due Process
From the Paper
"In principle, crime control and due process are two opposite philosophical perspectives about crime prevention and punishment in society. However, in practical application, each point of view contributes valuable elements to any system of justice. Without fundamental aspects of crime control, effective policing and prosecution of penal violations would be all but impossible; but without due process protections, everyone in society - both criminals and non-criminals - would be subjected to intrusive state actions with little regard for personal privacy or even the sanctity of one's home.'

Abstract
This paper discusses the images that Americans saw of bias and brutal cruelty towards females in Afghanistan, perpetrated by the Taliban, which have become a regrettable stereotype attached to all Muslim women in all Muslim nations by some in the Western media. This paper argues that those images are simply not accurate and explains that women are seeking and receiving a growing degree of fairness in civil rights. The paper brings to light the facts about women in today's Muslim communities in the Middle East.
From the Paper
"While addressing the truths about women's rights in Muslim nations, it is first perhaps helpful to address some of the myths, and remove them from the table before one sits down to partake of the food of facts. In her article, "Distorted Image of Muslim Women", Sister Naasira bint Ellison points out that Americans for the most part don't understand divorce in Islam; Muslim myth #1 has been perpetrated that a man can divorce his wife by simply uttering "I divorce you" three times. "The truth of the matter is that Islam has the most humane and most just system of divorce that exists," she writes. Yes, the man says, "I divorce you," but that is followed by a waiting period that lasts through 3 menstrual cycles, to be sure the wife is not pregnant, and to give the couple ample time to reconsider their decision, according to Sister Naasir. And if she is indeed pregnant, the man provides all her needs for her throughout her pregnancy, as he did before. And until the child is weaned, the ex-husband cares for both child and mother; after weaning, the man is obligated to provide for the child until he or she is no longer in need of support."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses whether homosexuals should receive rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights. The writer questions whether gays should receive rights compared to civil rights. The writer argues that while it is true that gays and minorities are often mistreated, the difference is in the ability to make a decision. The writer maintains that gay rights are different than civil rights because homosexuals make the decision to be gays and even the Bible shows that it is wrong, but African-Americans are born "black" and the Bill of Rights guarantee rights to "all men". The writer then points out that the Civil Rights Act was passed to guarantee that all African-Americans be treated equally with other Americans. The writer argues that comparing gay rights with civil rights shows that gays make a decision to date or love another person of the same sex, while African-Americans are born with their skin color and they should be given the same rights as any American.
From the Paper
"Before determining whether gays should have rights it is important to look at the definition of homosexuals. The definition of homosexuals will show that it is defined as a sexual orientation with romantic love and sexual desire of the same sex or gender. When a person falls in love with another person, a decision must be made to love the person. Homosexuality is a decision. The gay person decides to fall in love with another person of his or her same gender. This is the same as if a person decides to never date a person or if a person decides to fall in love with another person of a difference sex. Since it is a decision, people should not receive certain rights because they make a decision. Many homosexuals and minorities are rejected jobs and other freedoms so many people believe they should have rights as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. However, it is important to remember that homosexuals decide whether they want to have a love life with a member of the same sex."

The writer argues that the mother's human rights would take precedence over the "potential life" of the fetus, and once the fetus has transitioned to "actual life" then the mother's rights would be seriously limited.

From the Paper
"This research paper discusses the nature and course of the movements for civil rights and women's rights in the United States during the 1860s and draws appropriate comparisons and contrasts between them.
The principal struggle for civil rights related to improving the political, legal and, to a lesser extent, the economic status of blacks in the South, their emancipation from slavery and succor by the North during the Civil War (1860-1865) and their achievement of suffrage and other rights during the initial phases of Reconstruction (1865-1870). Emancipation only gradually became a central goal of Union policy during the war and its full parameters were far from settled by the time President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Reconstruction policy followed an even..."

Habeas Corpus - Civil Liberty or Civil Right, 2008.
An analysis of civil liberties and civil rights and which of them applies to habeas corpus.
3,137 words (approx. 12.5 pages), 15 sources, APA, $ 91.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores the origins and history of habeas corpus, from its roots that predate the Magna Carta through to the present day, where it is being employed to the benefit of hundreds that wrongly languish in prison. The paper also explains the distinction between civil right and civil liberty and discusses which applies to habeas corpus. Lastly, the paper looks at the historic ups and downs of habeas corpus and discusses its unique place in the Constitution, separate from provisions contained in the Bill of Rights.
From the Paper
"Rights and liberties need to be at their strongest when public support is at its weakest. Civil rights are decreed by law, civil liberties are God given, and the actions of legislatures are inevitably governed by the politics of the time. Habeas corpus is a civil liberty included among the "self evident truths" of the Declaration of Independence, and alone one of the civil liberties that can be suspended by acts of the government during times of crisis. The president judged by history as one of the best, sought to suspend these liberties in time of extreme crisis in the nation's young history. It was circumvented to increase support during a world war, to intern "dangerous" citizens during another, and to grant due process rights to perpetrators of the war for the new millennium. It is now freeing hundred of wrongly convicted people of a crime. The future of habeas corpus is uncertain in the short term, but solid in the future as all inalienable rights bestowed upon the common man by his creator."

The Progress of Rights in American History, 2002.
A paper which explores the way American society has emerged through the granting of rights and liberties to various groups and classes of Americans through the years.

Abstract
A study of the progress of the granting of rights to various races and classes throughout American history. The paper shows this progress by examining the relevant literature that bears on the history of rights and freedoms -- Ben Franklin?s ?Autobiography,? Frederick Douglass? ?Narrative of an American Slave,? Michael Shaara?s ?Killer Angels,? John Locke?s ?Second Treatise of Government? and the American Constitution. The paper shows that these documents have contributed greatly to the fact that individual liberties and rights have increased steadily since colonial times.
From the Paper
"But here, Franklin develops the early system of checks and balances in government. The King may not act without colonial assent, and the colonists may not act without royal asset. Once assent is given on either end, it is not retractable. Rights, then, are permanent in Franklin?s assessment. The King, once he acts, may not go back on his word and retract rights. However, there is a sort of double standard, as naturally the colonists may continue to ask for more rights on top of the ones that the king has already granted. This logic leaves a balance of the power tilted towards the colonists and their Assemblies rather than towards the King: the very start of our progress of individual rights and freedoms."

Human Rights Violations in the U.S.A., 2004.
This paper discusses several cases of violations of human rights and of civil liberties in the U.S.A.
3,820 words (approx. 15.3 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 104.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the term "human rights" is clarified as a set of human behavioral patterns that are bound together in a legal document enunciating the manner in which one person must treat the other person. The author presents many cases, which demonstrate that some of the most common cases of human rights violations can be found in the prisons. The paper examines a document by China, which states, despite the position taken by the U.S.A. as a world leader in the issue of human rights, the U.S. has many violations and has actually accomplished nothing more than to distort severely the human rights conditions in several different countries by stating that they are neglecting the issue of granting human rights to its citizens when, in fact, it is U.S.A. that is actually doing this.
From the Paper
"However, time has changed this; now African-Americans are considered a part of the soil of the United States, and they can cast their votes without fear of repercussions. They are also allowed, unlike as in the past, to occupy positions of high literary standing, at par with the 'whites'. The important 'Voting Rights Act' was passed in the year 1965, and this was one of the most important acts ever to defend the civil rights and liberties of an individual in the United States of America. The Act has been broadened over the years to accommodate various changes, and it facilitates the appointment of officials to ensure that the terms and conditions within are carried out to the letter. The VRA not only ensures that more voters cast their votes after registering, but also sees to it that people of African-American descent are also elected to office, a hitherto unheard of occurrence."

From Natural Law to Human Rights, 2006.
This essay explores how human rights grew from natural rights.
4,511 words (approx. 18.0 pages), 12 sources, MLA, $ 117.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer declares that early proponents of natural law argued that people have common sense and are born with an intuitive knowledge of right and wrong. This paper discusses that human rights are those rights that are based on human nature. The writer examines how human rights grew from natural rights. It argues that conceptions of right and wrong are not based on an unchanging, eternal order, but are negotiable; that is, open to revision as the years go by and times change. It is seen, for example, how women and children have used natural rights arguments to gain rights that formerly were denied them.
The writer concludes that human rights have evolved from natural law and natural rights and that human rights are intimately connected to morality and ethics.
Outline:
Introduction
Natural Law and the Concept of Rights
Changing the Law in Response to a New Moral Awareness
Human Rights for Women
Juvenile Death Penalty
Rights versus Utilitarianism
Conclusion
From the Paper
"More than anyone else the philosopher John Locke influenced the shape and form of democracy in the United States. He argued that human beings have certain fundamental rights, which governments cannot take away. He argued that no individual has a natural right to rule over others, and that a person's natural state is a state of freedom. Freedom, he explained, was not the same as license or permission to do whatever one wants; rather, freedom is based on the "law of reason which places precise limits on our behavior". Not everyone is able to enjoy their natural rights because other people and the government sometimes violate them; therefore, Locke suggested that men assemble and choose leaders who can be trusted to protect their natural rights. The primary function of government ought to be to protect the natural rights of its citizens, to protect citizens from other states, and to establish and maintain internal order. He suggested that oppressive governments (governments that had broken trust with the people) could, and should, be overthrown; in other words, sometimes, revolution is justified--especially if the government violates the natural rights of its citizens. In questions where natural rights are not the issue, then the will of the majority should prevail. His ideas profoundly inspired the Founding Fathers and the Declaration of Independence; moreover, the Constitution was written mainly to protect the people's rights from government interference, to insure internal order, and to establish defense."
