Civil rights, also civil liberties, are the rights that each individual possesses. Those rights are recognized by the Constitution and the Uniting Amendment.

The Uniting Amendment follows the philosophy of the original founders, i.e., freedom. Nature or our creator has made everyone free, and the government acknowledges that right. However, to participate in a government, people accept certain limited attenuations to those rights, e.g., they agree not to infringe the rights of others.

The design of the Uniting Amendment is such that; first it assumes that everyone is completely free to do anything, then it specifies certain limitations in order to facilitate the functions of society. It says:

"In order to establish harmony, promote tolerance and diversity, and minimize points of contention, the right of all people to do anything they want shall not be abridged, provided that they respect the rights of others and abide by the provisions of this Constitution."

The provisions of the Constitution are, in effect, those certain limitations that are absolutely necessary for the government and society to function in a fair and transparent manner. For example, those who choose to represent us as elected officials agree to give up some rights (such as a portion of their privacy) and follow certain rules so that there is transparency and people can know what the representatives are doing.

Civil rights also include the right to be treated fairly and equally under the law and to be able to participate in society without discrimination based on things that are beyond an individual's control, such as their race, sex or beliefs.
