| 要約: | The Supreme Court held in In re Gault (1967) : “Neither the Fourteenth Amendment nor the Bill of Rights is for adults alone”. This and other court decisions illustrate the fact that in the United States the individual rights of minors cannot be examined without taking into account the independent rights of parents and the state’s interest to ensure the well-being of its future citizens. After a review of the constitutional rights of minors, this article analyzes how parents’ rights and states’ or federal government’s duties have been framed and affirmed sometimes at the expense of children’s rights to self determination or protection, according to the circumstances. Finally, it examines the reason why the Convention on the Rights of Children has not been ratified by the United States. |
