Where'd you get that?
Individuals whose constitutional rights are violated by the state government are legally entitled to file a civil action to recover damages. This can be done because of Section 1983, an abridged term for 18 U.S.C. Section 1983, which provides US citizens the right to sue government officials and employees. To establish a claim under Section 1983, it requires two elements:
- Specifically, citing the constitutional right that was violated, and
- The defendant was acting for or on behalf of a government office during the violation of rights.
