All Americans enjoy protections afforded them by the United States Constitution. As a practical matter, a vehicle for the private enforcement of these civil rights is provided by 42 U.S.C. section 1983 (commonly referred to as “Section 1983”), a statute which traces its origins back to Congress’s response to abuses suffered by African-Americans at the hands of state and local government officials in the post-Civil War South.

- Death cases
