law and social movements  

Définition

  • Law in support of social movements stems from the role of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in a democratic society—to protect minority groups, including women, Latinos and African Americans, English language learners, gays and lesbians, the disabled, and the poor, from legislative tyranny by the majority. Historically, civil rights groups as well as organized labor have sought the power of the courts to force compliance with principles of equality and justice where voluntary compliance did not occur.
