#American’s Constitutional Rights Report
Security abroad is very important in political, economical and social aspects. The modern world is the world of terrorism and American government cares greatly about its citizens, who live or work abroad. The Constitution of the United States of America in this or that way protects people from the hazards which may appear abroad. Almost every country has the American embassy, where abused person may turn for help to the ambassador. Moreover, the obligation of the embassy is to follow the problems of the Americans who live in hostile country and to provide all possible help. American embassy is also responsible for the American citizens protection and promotion of “American business interests throughout the world” (Carland & Gihring, 2003)
Consular officers, in Foreign Service officers, are responsible for the life and health of the American citizens who go to other countries of the world with the aim of traveling, living or working. Consular officers are provide the most important role in the state, monitoring. This work is provided through the following of the emigration, the close work with foreign ministers and the government institutions of other countries.
The Fourteens Amendment of Constitution protects all people who were born or naturalized in the United States of America, no matter whether they live in the country or behind its boards. The first section of the Fourteens Amendment of constitution says that.No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws (United States Constitution, 2009).
It is important that this amendment protects not only those people who live in the country, but also those who left native land with different aims, such as living, traveling or working, and continues to be the representative of American nation.
“The Bill of Rights” is the other disputing point, as there is an opinion that it protects only people, who live on the territory of the United States of America, but from the point of view of the Fourteens Amendment of American constitution, ALL people who are Americans are protected by the law, so American people who live abroad are also protected from unauthorized actions in their persons houses, papers and effects. Moreover, these people are protected from unreasonable searchers and seizures, as even staying abroad they remain to be the representatives of American nation (Bill of Rights, 2009).
Americans, living abroad, have the opportunity to protect themselves or at least to help the American government to provide protection. The arrests in any country are kept all the time and the American embassy is unable to follow all the arrest cases all over the world. So, if the American person in the hostile country was arrested, he/she has the right to have a phone call, and this call must be to the local embassy. The ambassador is the person who will connect to the police department and the court trial should be sent to the native land, where it has to take place, as American people have to be judges by American laws.
