CE-LAW 2009 - American Bill of Rights: A Guide
The Bill of Rights original purpose was to defend the people of the United States against an aristocratic and geographically distant Congress whose members, many feared, would act in their own self-interest. It was only after the Civil War, with the passage and ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, that the Bill of Rights began to accrue its modern meaning. This engaging 7-week course is not just an historical study but designed to deepen the student’s understanding off present-day controversies over issues like free speech, the separation of church and state, and the Second Amendment right of ordinary citizens to “keep and bear arms.”
