Understanding Civil Rights Laws

Civil rights laws aim to protect you from oppression and other forms of unequal treatment, such as abuse or fraud. They may also make provisions for demographics including age, gender, and nationality. Also, your property is covered.

Civil rights protect you from the government's actions, while civil liberties shield you from other people's or private entities' actions. The government can not prohibit you from standing up for your rights, but they will interfere if anyone oppresses you and prohibits you from doing so.

Many of the civil rights legislation we are acquainted with, such as the 1964 Civil Rights Act, are created by the federal government, according to the United States Department of Justice. This law protects Americans from discrimination based on ethnicity, faith, gender, or nationality. They also passed the Americans with Disabilities Act, which protects people with various disabilities from workplace discrimination, public places, and other environments.

You have the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures by law enforcement, which includes the use of unnecessary force by police while detaining or arresting you. You have the right to be free of cruel and unusual punishment while you are imprisoned. Medical care, personal protection, housing, food, clothes, sanitation, and personal hygiene are all included. It could be a civil rights violation if you are refused either of these things.
