Constitutional law attorneys handle cases involving the construction and interpretation of federal and state constitutions, including individual rights and governmental powers. Constitutional law cases can involve issues like First Amendment rights -- such as freedom of speech, press, and religion -- and the checks and balances on authority among different branches of government. Most of the federal constitutional rights are found in the Bill of Rights, that was created originally as a limitation on the action by the federal government, but many of those rights are also applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment.
South Plains is an unincorporated community in northern Floyd County, Texas, United States. It lies along State Highway 207 north of the city of Floydada, the county seat of Floyd County.

South Plains' post office was first established in 1909 several miles from the current location; it was moved twice before reaching the current location in 1927, along the Fort Worth and Denver Railway. The community flourished in the 1920s, with a school and businesses being established, but the coming of the Great Depression caused the community to decline.
