Georgia's 1996 elimination of merit protections for newly hired employees challenges the legal protections that act as a barrier to unfettered government action. This article reviews the implications of Georgia's reforms in light of constitutional protections and judicial precedent. Although this reform effort sought to avoid employees' procedural due process rights by eliminating merit status for newly hired employees, federal and state judicial decisions indicate that those rights may not be so easy to extinguish. The most pressing challenge involves the constitutional right to due process. The Supreme Court has determined that public employment may rise to the level of a property right, requiring procedural due process. The courts have used a variety of standards to confer a property right interest, including the existence of language in policy and procedure manuals. Accordingly, many of Georgia's agencies may have unknowingly promulgated employee regulations that lead to the expectation of a property right in continued employment.

In 1915, William Simmons reestablished the Ku Klux Klan atop Stone Mountain after 50 years of inactivity. Within a few years of promoting itself, the KKK grew from a few thousand to several million members across the United States by the start of the 1920s. With its strong national growth, the Klan also had a large following in Georgia, where many new members worked in the state's public institutions. At the start of the decade, Thomas William Hardwick became the Governor of Georgia. In response to an uptick in Klan-associated crime, Hardwick attempted to establish anti-klan policies. Klan members criticized Hardwick throughout his term, and supported his opponent, Clifford Walker, a Klan member, for governor in 1922. Hardwick's political career never fully recovered from his fight with the Klan.
