Civil Rights
The United States Constitution guarantees certain civil rights to all Americans, and it can dramatically affect a person’s life if government officials violate those rights. Many times, courts or agencies will find that there was no basis for a government employee to take the action that violated your rights. There are remedies for this kind of abuse of power. If your civil rights have been violated by a government employee, then you may be able to file a civil rights lawsuit.
