Civil rights,
rights that a nation's inhabitants enjoy by law. The term is broader than
“political rights,” which refer only to rights devolving from the franchise
and are held usually only by a citizen, and unlike “natural rights,” civil
rights have a legal as well as a philosophical basis. In the United States
civil rights are usually thought of in terms of the specific rights
guaranteed in the Constitution: freedom of religion, of speech, and of the
press, and the rights to due process of law and to equal protection under
the law.
