Bill of Rights (California)

The California Bill of Rights, formally known as Proposition 11, was established to protect individual liberties and ensure fair treatment under the law. It includes provisions that safeguard citizens' rights to free speech, due process, and equal protection, among others. Additionally, it addresses issues like privacy and prohibits discrimination in various contexts. This set of rights aims to empower individuals and promote justice within the state, reflecting California's commitment to civil liberties and social equity. It enhances the U.S. Bill of Rights by providing more specific protections suited to California's diverse population.
