Originally enacted in 1871, Section 1983 litigation experienced a period of dormancy, until 1961 and the landmark Supreme Court case, Monroe v. Pape, 365 U.S. 167 (1961), which gave private litigants a federal court remedy as a first resort rather than only in default of (or after) state action. Today, Section 1983 actions most commonly involve 1st Amendment issues like freedom of speech; 4th Amendment issues like search and seizure or use of force; 8th Amendment issues like cruel and unusual punishment; and 14th Amendment claims of due process violations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52158601199904,"sku":"NEW1537162381","price":17.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61AAlUG3VML.jpg?v=1786081750","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/section-1983-litigation-civil-rights-actions-1537162381","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
