As Americans, we often take our many freedoms for granted. It is easy to
forget the difficulties many of our ancestors faced when fighting for
the rights we now enjoy. Because the United States is a "nation of laws
and not of men," these people were able to challenge unfair laws in hope
of a better future. Fights for Rights explains our everyday rights of
free speech, religion, the rights of the accused, and how our
Constitution guarantees these rights for all people.
