Why Study Constitutional Law?

"He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither" is a quote that has been attributed to the great Ben Franklin. It is for this reason, among others, that it is important to study Constitutional Law. I spent a little time on YouTube today and found this interesting clip about habeas corpus rights which are the rights for those detained to question the reasoning for their detention and receive relief if they are being unlawfully detained.



Regardless of your political persuasion and how you feel about this issue, knowledge of Constitutional Law and your rights guaranteed by the Constitution are important to good citizenship!
