Discuss how and why civil liberties came to be considered fundamental rights in the United States as well as the specific tensions that have existed (and continue to exist) between the government’s role in trying to protect individual civil liberties and protecting interests related to the public good more generally.  In your answer, be sure to demonstrate you understand the distinction between civil liberties from civil rights.  Also, plan to cover the relevance of federalism as well as the selective incorporation of the Bill of Rights.  Finally, be sure to talk about specific amendments to the U.S. Constitution (i.e. the first, fifth and fourteenth amendments) as they relate to civil liberties. You should cover the first and at least one other amendment. The sources that are used need to be primarily from the articles I put down. You can add one or two if youd think it would help.
