Civil rights\u201d are the rights of individuals to receive equal treatment (and to be free from unfair treatment or \u201cdiscrimination\u201d) in a number of settings \u2014 including education, employment, housing, and more \u2014 and based on certain legally-protected characteristics.
Historically, the \u201cCivil Rights Movement\u201d referred to efforts toward achieving true equality for African-Americans in all facets of society, but today the term \u201ccivil rights\u201d is also used to describe the advancement of equality for all people regardless of race, sex, age, disability, national origin, religion, or certain other characteristics.<\/p>

Most laws guaranteeing and regulating civil rights originate at the federal level, either through federal legislation, or through federal court decisions (such as those handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court). States also pass their own civil rights laws (usually very similar to those at the federal level), and even municipalities like cities and counties can enact ordinances and laws related to civil rights.<\/p>

\u201cCivil Rights\u201d vs. \u201cCivil Liberties\u201d<\/p>

\u201cCivil rights\u201d are different from \u201ccivil liberties.\u201d Traditionally, the concept of \u201ccivil rights\u201d has revolved around the basic right to be free from unequal treatment based on certain protected characteristics (race, gender, disability, etc.), while \u201ccivil liberties\u201d are more broad-based rights and freedoms that are guaranteed at the federal level by the Constitution and other federal law.<\/p>
