Question 1: Discuss why are there so many protections for the civil liberties of those who are accused of committing crimes or those who speak unpopular beliefs. Give two examples from the reading or lecture. Why is this important in a democratic system?

Question 2: Based on the history of civil rights movements what is the better approach to civil rights: a gradual path that focuses on passing laws and winning cases in court, or a more direct approach that includes direct action and acts of civil disobedience like boycotts and protests in order to change laws? Or is it a combination of both? Why do you consider this to be the better solution, based on what we learned this week?
