Civil Rights and Liberties

Civil rights refer to the protections and privileges individuals have under the law, ensuring equal treatment and freedom from discrimination. Civil liberties, on the other hand, are fundamental freedoms that protect individuals from government overreach, such as the right to free speech and privacy. In the context of political obligation, individuals are often expected to respect these rights and liberties while engaging in society. This entails recognizing the rights of others and abiding by laws that protect these freedoms, which contribute to a just and harmonious community.
