- Summary:
- This major "Encyclopedia" in American history and law is the first devoted to issues of civil liberties and the meaning of freedom in American life. It covers the traditional civil liberties: freedom of speech, press, religion, assembly, and petition. In addition, it also covers concerns such as privacy, the rights of the accused, and national security. The articles are alphabetically organized for ease of access, and range in length from 250 words for a brief biography or careful definition to 5000 words for in-depth analyses.
