Your rights as an American are more than words on paper—they're promises made by the Constitution. But what happens when those promises are broken, quietly rolled back, or stripped away in the name of safety, politics, or profit?

Vanishing Freedoms: Understanding Your Rights—and How They're Being Eroded is a clear, compelling guide to the constitutional rights you were born with—or earned—and how those rights are being limited, bypassed, or erased in today's America.

This book explores:

  • What your rights are: from the First Amendment to the right to vote, due process, equal protection, and more
  • How they apply in real life: protest, policing, online privacy, censorship, surveillance, voting access, and criminal justice
  • Where they're under attack: with examples of legislation, court rulings, political strategies, and systemic trends
  • What you can do about it: empowering steps for civic engagement, awareness, and legal action
  • Whether you're a student, activist, voter, or simply worried about the direction of the country, this book gives you the tools to understand your rights—and recognize when they're being taken away.
