The ethics of publicity in social sciences may highlight the dark part of parliamentary debates. They do not only aim to explain the stakes of the future law, but can also help, because they make use of the publicity around what is said, to heighten the "unspoken". Indeed, the analysis of the congregational debates held to adopt the Civil Rights Act of 1964 brings to light the strategy of the southern Senators opposed to a draft law yet introduced by members of their own political party, the Democratic Party. They rely on a range of political, legal or media-centered arguments to show that de jure equality, although enshrined in the amended American Constitution, must not necessarily become de facto equality. In other words, this paper, combining communicative and civilizational perspectives, is trying to highlight how publicity around the debates can also be used to reinforce the secret surrounding individual interests.

Aux États-Unis, les lois luttant contre les discriminations sont le plus souvent appliquées par le biais de poursuites judiciaires, plutôt que par des actions administratives. La loi de 1964 sur les droits civils, qui interdit la discrimination dans l'emploi, prévoyait initialement des recours juridictionnels visant à empêcher ceux qui s'y opposaient d'en saboter la mise en œuvre effective. Ils pensaient à tort que peu d'avocats seraient disposés à engager de telles procédures juridictionnelles. Lorsque le président Ronald Reagan a tenté d'entraver l'application des droits civils en réduisant l'efficacité des agences d'exécution, les avocats et les tribunaux ont résisté avec succès à ses efforts. Dans la période actuelle, le président Trump, comme Reagan avant lui, tente d'obstruer l'application des droits fondamentaux en freinant l'action des agences compétentes. Cela étant, tant que le pouvoir judiciaire américain reste indépendant, les agissements du président Trump risquent également d'échouer.

The invasion of digital technology has changed civil and administrative society since the end of the 20th century. Public and individual freedoms have been affected by this information technology. Common law has adapted to defend public liberties. Special legislation has been put in place to protect privacy through the protection of personal data. Mercantile companies collect these data and exchange them. They thus constitute a database containing a mass of information concerning each individual. The government adapts laws to allow surveillance of individuals to fight against terrorism. But technology also allows the dissemination of administrative data to citizens and promotes neutral information. This information paves the way for citizen participation. Since France refuses to introduce the protection of privacy directly into the Constitution, the European courts, ECHR and CJEU, have in recent years effectively protected this private life. This protection is also based on better training of individuals in the face of the dangers of social networks and the Internet, training that remains to be developed. ; L'invasion de la technologie numérique a modifié la société civile et administrative depuis la fin du XXe siècle.

La France se refusant d'introduire directement dans la Constitution la protection de la vie privée, ce sont les cours européennes, CEDH et CJUE, qui depuis quelques années protègent effectivement cette vie privée. Cette protection repose également sur une meilleure formation des individus face aux dangers des réseaux sociaux et de l'Internet, formation qui reste à développer.

This dissertation discusses how Black Civil Rights Organizations such as the NAACP, the National Urban League and the Rainbow Push Coalition paved the way for the election of the 44th US President, Barack Obama. It specifically establishes a direct link connecting the 1965 Voting Rights Act victory won under the leadership of Dr Martin Luther King, Roy Wilkins, and Whitney Young along with the Reverend Jesse Jackson's 1984 and 1988 presidential bids, showing from a historical approach how the Civil Rights Movement contributed to the election of the first African-American US President. By examining Reverend Jesse Jackson's two presidential bids, this dissertation aims at demonstrating how he made it easier and more accessible for Barack Obama to become the Democratic Party nominee ultimately elected to the US Presidency. The dissertation further examines the electoral process through which Obama ascended to the Land's Highest Office. In that regard, it revisits crucial hostilities that occurred during the 2008 presidential election within the Democratic Party between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. By the same token, it looks back on upheavals that broke out between Obama and Senator John McCain during the general election. The dissertation discusses from a sociological viewpoint disputes over leadership within the black community among African-American leaders and Barack Obama prior to, and during the 2008 presidential election. These clashes were notably related to family values, Obama's 2008 presidential bid, and the Jena Six racial incident. This dissertation, further, addresses issues of America being a post-racial nation pointing out how the election of the first African-American President failed in fundamentally shifting Americans' view on race relations and how racism is still a relevant issue in twenty-first century America while examining from another standpoint the relationship between the Obama Administration and the aforementioned Black Civil Rights Organizations ; La présente étude examine comment ...
