abridgment

“Article IV: Libraries should cooperate with all persons and groups concerned with resisting abridgment of free expression and free access to ideas.”

The Supreme Court ruled without dissenting opinions that the law did not violate the US Constitution's First Amendment protection against government abridgment of free speech.

Democratic National Committee decision in 2021, banned any voting measure that "results in a denial or abridgment of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race."

Section 2 bans any voting procedure that “results in a denial or abridgment of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race.”

But another clause of the Constitution, which the court relegates to a footnote, protects the “privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States” against state abridgment.
