Civil Rights
Republic explores the legal and civic protections that allow individuals to live freely and participate equally in public life.
Focus areas
01
Free expression
The freedom to speak, publish, and assemble, and the limits the law recognizes.
02
Freedom of conscience
The right to hold and practice beliefs, religious or otherwise, without coercion.
03
Privacy
What governments and companies may know about people, and the protections that apply.
04
Equal treatment
Fair and equal application of the law, regardless of who a person is.
05
Due process
Fair procedures before the government takes away liberty or property.
Key questions
How do free expression and other rights fit together when they conflict?
What privacy protections should keep pace with new technology?
How can equal treatment under the law be measured and improved?
