Civil Rights Claims

Civil rights, also known as enforceable rights, are rights that have been guaranteed and protected by the government. United States laws protect against the denial of an individual's civil rights (discrimination) based on race, age, sex, religion, national origin, previous condition of servitude, and physical limitation. Civil rights law suits in the US have been tried in areas ranging from public education and public housing to employment, voting and access to public facilities. In the United States civil rights are enumerated in the Bill of Rights, the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments and in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In the United States, the Supreme Court has played a major role in increasing government protections of civil rights.
