... One of the main areas in which this can be seen are within each country’s version of civil liberties, rights, and duties. The first amendment of the United State’s constitution includes such provisions as the freedom of religion. This is represented within the 28th Article of the Russian Constitution. The main difference between these two articles can be seen in the U.S. constitution, it is stated within; “no law respecting an establishment of religion.” In the Russian’s Article 28 it is stated much more specifically as “freedom of conscience and freedom of religion […] or to profess none. ... This difference has made for a bit of controversy in the U.S. ...
Article 29 in the Russian constitution states the equivalent of the United State’s freedom of speech. ... The Russian constitution is much more exact with its language. ... Article 29 section 2 is also another area not represented as explicitly in the United State’s constitution. Their version of freedom of the press is very similar, yet the Russian version is again more detailed in its wording.
In Amendment 2 the United State’s constitution guarantees citizens right to keep and bear arms. There is not an Article in the Russian constitution that guarantees this. ... A person’s innocence until proof of guilt is detailed in Article 49 number 1, whereas the U.S. constitution did not have this, until as an after thought it was put into law. Each constitution states that no defendant may be forced to testify against themselves. ... Double jeopardy is covered in Article 50 and Amendment 5 and they each declare the person’s right to not be tried twice for the same crime. ... Another instance that is not covered in the Russian constitution is the matter of an excessive bail. ... In the later part of this amendment the subject of cruel and unusual punishment is considered and is embodied in Article 21’s banning of torture, violence, or other cruel or degrading treatment or punishment. This Article also ensures that no person will be subjected to medical, scientific, or other experiments without consent- something not seen in the United States’ constitution.
