State Protected "Rights"

Overview

The “rights” we might have protected are not only found in the U.S. Constitution, but, because of our dual sovereign governmental system (i.e., the federal and state governments), there may well be “rights” protected by individual state constitutions as well (i.e., other than related to those in the U.S. Constitution, unless they expand those “federal” rights in some manner). So, examine the state constitution for the state in which are a resident (or stationed), in which you may have been a resident (or stationed), or in which you might hope to someday be a resident (or stationed), to determine whether there are any such protected “rights” therein.
