Civil Liberties Advocacy+definitions
Civil liberties is the name given to freedoms that protect the
individual from government. Civil liberties set limits for government
so that it can not abuse its power and interfere with the lives of its
citizens. - Wikipedia at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_liberty Amy Sample Ward
Civil rights are the protections and privileges of personal
power given to all citizens by law. Civil rights are distinguished from
"human rights" or "natural rights". - Wikipedia at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_rights Amy Sample Ward
