The Buckeye Institute

We Defend Your Constitutionally Protected
Civil Liberties & Your Civil Rights

In addition to the First Amendment, the U.S. Constitution prohibits and limits the government’s authority to infringe upon our inalienable rights—such as the right to life and liberty—it also grantees other rights—such as our right to due process under the law. While civil liberties protect us from undue government interference, our civil rights protect us from discrimination. Still, the two are inextricably linked in how Americans understand what it means to be equal before the law, and The Buckeye Institute defends citizens when their liberties and rights are violated.
