During this topic, you learned about several civil liberties protected by the U.S. Constitution. Pretend that you are a freelance writer with a popular blog, specializing in articles on news and government. You have been asked to post an article about your thoughts on two current civil liberty issues.

To help you get started, visit the ACLU website and research some of the civil liberty issues of today. Select two issues that you would like to discuss. In your blog post, explain what each issue is and whether you agree with the ACLU’s stance on it. Do you believe that individuals' constitutionally protected civil liberties are being violated? Should the government take action to rectify the situation? If you agree, what actions should the government take? If you disagree, explain your reasoning.

Utilize digital images and a word-processing, presentation, paint, or graphics program to assemble your article. Your post should be well-organized, creative, and interesting. This writing must be a minimum of four paragraphs, including an introductory paragraph, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Before starting, review the Civil Liberties Blog Checklist to ensure that your article meets all necessary requirements. You will use resources outside of this course to complete this assignment, so make sure you submit a Works Cited document along with your work. If you need assistance, please visit the Developmental Module for information on citing any resources that you use.
