Learning Targets: Students will be able to....
- Explain how the U.S. Constitution protects individual liberties and rights.
- Describe the rights protected in the Bill of Rights.

However, it has sometimes been argued that these legal protections have been used to slow reforms and restrict freedoms of others in the name of social order.
