LST 537 - Shifting Cultural Sands: The Rights of Americans in the 21st Century In this course we will examine the historical forces which shaped the
creation of the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution, the
Supreme Court’s various methods of interpreting the scope of individual
rights contained within the United States Contitution, the difficulties
inherent in maintaining an inclusive concept of individual rights in a
society where strong government intervention is necessary to maintain
law and order, and the positions of those who maintain that “activist
judges” are writing law, thwarting the will of the majority, and
usurping the legislative function of our elected officials.
