What does 'Government Protected Constitutional Right' mean?
Here are 2 possible definitions. If there are more/others I'll move this to a popularity contest.
Definition:
1. It means that the government cannot place any obstacles that prevent you from exercising your constitutional right (for example, throwing you in jail for exercising your constitutional right).
2. It means that the government will pay you to exercise your constitutional right (for example, pay you to get an abortion if you can't afford one ).

Wow, a strawman argument of a legitamate position...what else is new Joe? What the two sides should be are: 1) It is something the government cannot punish you for excersising (like the right not to get thrown in jail for speaking freely) 2) It is something that the government must protect (like the right to property, so people don't steal it from you). My answer would be, both. There are certain rights that put limitations of the government, and others that sometimes require government intervention to ensure. This usually means spending some money (paying for a police force, judges, etc...) 250 days ago | Tagged As: The 2nd description definiton
