Your Constitutional Protections
Understanding your rights is the first step toward defending them. Here are the key civil rights protections every American should know.
Freedom of speech, press, religion, assembly, and petition
The government cannot restrict your expression, your religious practice, your right to protest peacefully, or your ability to petition for change.
Protection from unreasonable searches and seizures
Law enforcement must have probable cause and typically a warrant to search your person, home, or belongings.
Due process and self-incrimination protections
You cannot be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process. You have the right to remain silent.
Equal protection under the law
No state shall deny any person equal protection of the laws. This is the foundation of anti-discrimination law.
