Heidi learned a few things, and part of that learning process was unlearning.
She grew up thinking and defending the idea that the Constitution was meant to protect us, the citizens.
But then she learned that's not exactly true.
15-year-old Heidi loves this clause.
This brings us to another thing Heidi learned from the constitutional scholars.
She learned about two kinds of rights.
The due process clause falls into the category of negative rights, rights that protect us from something, like the government, while positive rights are active rights, rights that the government or other people have to actually provide.
Our constitution, for the most part, is full of negative rights.
Jessica Gonzalez had three daughters with her husband and a restraining order against them.
She filed for one in 1999 after a long history of violence and abuse.
A month into that restraining order, her husband kidnapped their three children.
Gonzalez called the Castle Rock Police Department for help.
It was around 7.30 p.m.
She called an hour later saying she had heard from her husband and knew where they were.
She called again and again until nearly 1 a.m.
when she got back in her car and went to the station to file a report.
An officer took the report and then went to dinner.
In 1961, Estelle Griswold and Dr. Charles Lee Buxton were arrested for giving information about contraception and writing prescriptions for IUDs to women at a Planned Parenthood in Connecticut.
They took their case to the Supreme Court.
This is the case where Heidi's favorite parts of the Constitution join hands and take center stage.
