THE HISTORICAL AND CURRENT CONTEXT OF DOMESTIC PROTECTION AND RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS – CASE STUDY, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Summary/Abstract: Controversy over how human rights are respected in the United States has been going on for more than half a century, and is constantly fueled by a series of unfortunate events that manage to undermine the ideal of social behavior that The Ten amendments of the US Constitution wanted to promote among American citizens. In this article, we treat the evolution of this subject over time, focusing on the major changes that have taken place in the protection and promotion of human rights in American society. U.S. legislative procedure in the field of protection, promotion and respect for the rights of the American citizen is constantly changing, contemporary realities create new legal situations, whose enactment is necessary. The historical progress that U.S. law has made in the 230 years since the first amendments to the U.S. Constitution have shown that, in order to guarantee the full observance of all human rights without discrimination of any kind, a comprehensive legislative framework is not enough, but a rational application of it in society is needed, as well as awareness of the effects of its non-compliance towards all American citizens. The events of recent years have shown that it is the general discontent that precedes the protests and civic riots in American society that starts from unequal treatment, discriminatory against citizens, and not from legislative gaps that favor such behavior.
