A Long List of Everyday Guaranteed Rights

By James Sabin

A Long List of Everyday Guaranteed Rights casts a critical eye on the many layers of civic life, ranging from the local to the global, and outlines the rights that are the possession of each individual. James Sabin, while not an attorney, sets out in this guide to inform and educate readers so that they will know and appreciate the rights, the liberties, and the freedoms that are theirs to enjoy.

Several chapters of A Long List of Everyday Guaranteed Rights provide the list of rights. Then chapters on topics like Arrests and Jobs Theory, Civil Asset Forfeiture, Consumer Rights and Consumer Loans, and Customs and Traditions dig down into the details describing how these rights came to be understood as given parts of civic life and how they come alive in ones daily routines.

A Long List of Everyday Guaranteed Rights intends to serve as a quick reference for the rights that shape daily living and as a supplement to the Constitution of the United States, the key document of American civic life.

Limited help is available when undesirable people, businesses, and companies are scamming or cheating you, but you can impose your own economic sanctions against them for five years at a time. Most fraudulent people and businesses have few customers and make enormous profits, do no good for society, and quickly leave families and senior citizens in poverty. If they want to sell new products, they must stop the fraud. You are in charge.
