Bill of Rights 19.3.2003

Some people think that Bill Gates looks like me.

Texts from the Yale Law School.

These acts are part of John Adams' legacy. I though that Abraham Lincoln used them in the Civil War to suspend the writ of habeascorpus ( summary on www.civil-liberties.com ) , but after a brief and superficial search, I haven't found evidence to support that claim.

For more on habeas corpus, see lectlaw.com , nolo.com , and Article I, Section 9, Clause 2 of the US Constitution .

It's about your right to be left alone, to follow your conscience in a responsible manner, to air your unpopular political views, to practice your obscure religion, to exercise the rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights without fear of persecution.
