2022-08-23 What Your Rights Actually Are

A lot of us are ignorant of what our rights actually are. For me, the first time I heard about them was when I was working for the CRA almost a decade ago. Even then, I haven’t retained them.

In America, it’s worse since many think the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution allows everyone to be heavily armed all the time. It doesn’t.

Either way, getting a better understanding of them rather than being given a crash course on them is important because it can affect the broader scope of our lives. Even though we think at times politics has nothing to do with us, we’ve become increasingly aware of how that is not the case.

People’s rights can be stripped away. Laws can be twisted in some fashions or the creation of new laws can allow some predatory businesses to be thriving and impact many people.

Politicians thrive on ignorance which is why there are so many embarrassing people or some questionable individuals running for positions of power. It’s a result of a system that’s routinely omitting details and not explaining rights in a broader scope and how it all fits in with society.
