Civil rights protect citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures and cruel and unusual punishments, and discrimination based on a person’s race, gender, religion, age, previous condition of servitude, physical limitation, national origin, and in some instances, sexual preference. Civil Rights are also referred to as Legal Rights or statutory rights under the law.
Civil Rights & Human Rights
Human rights are rights and freedoms fundamental to life and liberty. Human rights laws entitle people to equal-opportunity employment and the right to work free of discrimination and harassment. Human rights include:
- Freedom of expression.
- Equality under the law.
- The right to food.
- The right to work.
- The right to education.
Human rights uphold the dignity and worth of the human being and equal rights between men and women.
