If you need a lawyer, spend your money on a lawyer. But if you don't need a lawyer, this book might very well keep you from needing one. Most folks have only been taught that "rights" are life-liberty-pursuit-of-happiness. Those important rights are only the beginning but are not even the most basic. One is so basic that without it, no other right is possible . . . but if misused, will destroy a person's power to exercise any right. We have rights from living with others and rights from living in a civilization. This book explores * Inalienable Rights * Contract Rights * Property Rights * Civil Rights * Jury Rights * Constitutional Rights * States Rights (misnamed; it is "State Powers") * Human Rights Before it even looks into these rights, it has to define what a RIGHT is. That itself is eye-opening but it suggests a "formula" that a person can follow when she or he feels his rights have been violated. The chapters on each type of right includes examples of violations, possible solutions and even some examples the Courts have looked at issues. What about Hate Speech? How far can a religion go before it's freedom can be infringed? What is the Second Amendment REALLY about? Finally, the book wraps it all up with what a person can do to Keep his or her Rights. It is not just fighting, no matter what they try to tell you. You can keep your rights, and it is not even that difficult.
