ACLU @aclu.org · 05/07/2025
Since our nation’s founding, the fabric of American society has been woven with deeply racist policies systematically barring marginalized communities from accessing opportunities in jobs, education, and housing. The time is now to root out racism and build a future grounded in equity for all.
A black and white graphic with an image of Frederick Douglass on the right, and a quote from Douglass in white text on the left: “The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me. This Fourth July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice. I must mourn.” Below, light blue text reads: “From abolitionist Frederick Douglass’s July 3, 1852 speech, ‘What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?’” The ACLU logo is featured in light blue at the bottom.

Personal freedoms

The personal freedoms accorded throughout the Constitution and its many amendments are an
essential protection against government tyranny and reflect the inherent rights of every person in
the United States. These include,
-Freedom of expression. Democracy depends on freedom of speech and the press. The
government has no right to intimidate or punish anyone simply on the basis of their views and
ideas.
 -Criminal justice. Those suspected and accused of crimes are protected by many provisions of
the Bill of Rights, including those limiting police searches and arrests, ensuring the privilege
against self-incrimination, and providing for fair trials.  These rights are imperative to protect
individual freedom and prevent abuses by the government.
-Personal autonomy. Our society respects fundamental aspects of autonomy, including the
liberty to make important decisions about one’s life.

the Constitution, and its chief safeguard of our liberty, is
avoiding the concentration of power by separating and placing limits upon the legislative,
executive, and judicial powers of government among three branches that check, balance, and
respect each other’s power.  
-Responsibility of each branch of government: Congress alone possesses the legislative power,
which is limited to that authority enumerated in the Constitution. The President is not a King;
his power must come from the Constitution or a statute passed by Congress and may not be
applied to violate the constitutional rights of others. And it is “emphatically the province and
duty of the judicial department to say what the law is.”
-National defense: The federal government must provide for the common defense, which today
means protecting the United States, supporting our allies overseas, and preventing foreign
interference from disrupting our political system. But whether the federal government is

protecting national security or fulfilling its domestic responsibilities, it must adhere to the limits
of i…

One of the worst parts of this whole ongoing ~thing~ has been watching the very few members of our media-political-intellectual-economic-etc elite who do actually care about the collapse of the constitutional order discover how few of their colleagues agree with them.

We’ve had checks & balances & separation of powers embedded into the founding of our national govt specifically because the Framers anticipated that some day an executive might come along like Trump. For over 2 centuries we have also had judicial review. It’s all under siege now.

Al Gore pitched a sovereign wealth fund once, but he called it a “lockbox.” And it existed bc they’d taxed the wealthy a tiny bit, balanced the budget and had a surplus. And he only wanted the fund to protect Social Security for Americans who weren’t millionaires. So the GOP mocked it.
