Scholar Exchange: Civil Liberties Overview (High School/College Level)

In this civics video for students, Chief Learning Officer Kerry Sautner and
Senior Fellow for Constitutional Studies Thomas Donnelly ​explore civil liberties—the basic individual rights of all citizens, as expressed in the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights and reinforced by the 14th Amendment. The Constitution, and (especially) the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, guarantees many of these liberties, but have they always been respected? This civics lesson explores civil liberties through the Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments.
