Where Do Civil Rights Come From?
The Bill of Rights in the USA is the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution that contains civil and political rights (freedoms) that protect individuals from the government and state power and assure citizens the ability to enjoy and participate in the civil and political life within a state. The Supreme Court held that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment applies the Bill of Rights to each state, including any local government. The 14th Amendment formally defines citizenship and protects a person's civil and political rights from being abridged or denied by any state.
Civil Rights are therefore rights belonging to an individual by virtue of citizenship, especially the fundamental freedoms and privileges guaranteed by the 13th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and by subsequent federal acts of Congress and court decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court.
States also have their own Civil Rights Laws and cities and counties can enact ordinances and laws related to civil rights.
Civil Rights - Guide to Civil Rights Law
Civil rights embrace a wide range of fundamental rights and liberties such as:
- Civil liberty,
- Equal opportunity and protection of the laws,
- Freedom from cruel and unusual punishment, discrimination, double jeopardy, involuntary servitude, search and seizure, and self-incrimination,
- Freedom of assembly, of religion, of speech, the press and to bear arms.
- Habeas corpus and Human rights,
- Right to be secure, an attorney, confront accusers, due process, speedy and public trial by impartial jury.
Unfair treatment alone does not necessarily constitute a violation of Civil Rights and liberties. Discrimination only takes place if you're treated unfairly based on your protected-class status under the Constitution, such as race, sex, age, disability, national origin, religion, or certain other characteristics.
