The document discusses different levels of citizenship and the rights and responsibilities associated with each level. It presents citizenship as a pyramid with multiple layers including home, school, city, state, and nation. At each level, citizens gain rights and responsibilities from different sources such as constitutions, charters, handbooks, and family rules. The highest level of nation provides fundamental rights in the US Constitution like freedom of speech and right to vote. Lower levels like state and city may build upon these rights with additional protections.
Citizens have rights and responsibilities at different levels of citizenship, from their home to their nation. Rights come from various sources like the U.S. Constitution, state constitutions, city charters, and school handbooks. The U.S. Constitution guarantees big rights like freedom of speech and the right to vote. State constitutions often repeat and add to federal rights, such as the right to a free education. City charters give citizens the right to use public services, and school handbooks imply rights by listing responsibilities and rules.
The document outlines several core democratic values:
1) It discusses individual rights like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness balanced with the common good of society.

3) It defines values like diversity, freedom of religion, equality, and civilian control of the military that promote fairness and equal treatment under the law.

The document outlines the goals of a project for students to create a multimedia presentation on one of the core democratic values of the United States. It defines 12 core democratic values: life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, the common good, justice, equality, diversity, truth, popular sovereignty, patriotism. Students are instructed to include 5 slides in their presentation: a title slide with their name and value chosen, 3 information slides with graphics/examples explaining how examples relate to the value, and a works cited slide citing any electronic resources used.
The document summarizes core democratic values including life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, common good, justice, equality, diversity, truth, popular sovereignty, patriotism, and work.

Observing a Civil Rights or a Civil Liberties Event
"
[A] bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse.
" - Thomas Jefferson
Civil liberties and civil rights are salient rights enshrined by the U.S. Constitution and subsequent congressional legislation, executive actions, and judicial decisions. Whereas many times civil liberties and civil rights are used interchangeably, the two terms are distinct.
Civil Liberties
: "The personal guarantees and freedoms that government usually cannot abridge, by law, constitution, or judicial interpretation. As guarantees of "freedom to" action, they place limitations on the power of the government to restrain or dictate an individual's actions." (OConnor & Sabato, 2019)
Civil Rights
: "Provide freedom from arbitrary or discriminatory treatment (treating someone differently based on a variety of characteristics including race, religion, gender, or — in many cases — gender orientation) by government or individuals." (OConnor & Sabato, 2019)
In short, civil rights are a person's right to be free from discrimination based on race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, etc. Civil liberties are a person's basic freedoms. For example, basic civil liberty is the right to marry. If you were not allowed to marry because the court clerk refused to sign your marriage certificate, then that is a civil liberty concern. But, if the court clerk refused to sign your marriage certificate because you were LGBTQ, then that is a civil rights concern.
The
Department of Homeland Security's Citizen Resource Center
explains the civil liberties, civic rights, and responsibilities of U.S. citizens. Following are the rights, liberties, and responsibilities enjoyed by every citizen:
Rights:
Freedom to express yourself.
Freedom to worship, or not, as you wish.
Right to a prompt, fair trial by jury.
Right to vote in elections for public officials.
Right to apply for federal employment requiring U.S. citizenship.
Right to run for elected office.
Freedom to pursue "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Responsibilities:
Support and defend the Constitution.
Stay informed of the issues affecting your community.
Participate in the democratic process.
Respect and obey federal, state, and local laws.
Respect the rights, beliefs, and opinions of others.
Participate in your local community.
Pay income and other taxes honestly, and on time, to federal, state, and local authorities.
Serve on a jury when called upon.
Defend the country if the need should arise.
Source: (USCIS, n.d.)
Did you notice that part of a U.S. citizen's responsibility includes staying informed of the issues affecting your community, participating in the democratic process, and participating in your local community?

The document discusses the meaning and importance of the phrase "We the People" in the US Constitution. It provides three key points:
1) "We the People" establishes that the government's power comes from the people and that it must respect individual rights and be limited in scope.
2) The Constitution includes provisions like checks and balances, separation of powers, and the Bill of Rights to prevent abuse of government power.
3) These foundational principles are still highly relevant today in limiting government overreach and protecting civil liberties, though some argue the federal government has grown beyond what the founders envisioned.
The document discusses what makes Americans united despite their differences. It notes that Americans come from many different backgrounds and have differing views, but that the Constitution aims to reconcile these differences by enshrining shared values and protecting individual freedoms. It emphasizes that what truly makes Americans united is how we accept and live with one another's differences. The ACLU works to ensure that the Constitution protects the rights and freedoms of all people.
The document discusses the fundamental characteristics of a constitutional government, specifically addressing how it means limited government and describing three provisions in the US Constitution that prevent abuse of power. These provisions are checks and balances, higher law, and the Bill of Rights. Checks and balances like congressional override of presidential vetoes limit each branch. Higher law establishes that the government must obey the Constitution in limiting individual rights. The Bill of Rights secures citizens' rights and limits government power over them. These provisions effectively limit government power today.
