Fort Lauderdale Tort Lawyers and Civil Rights in Florida
Civil rights are individual liberties and privileges guaranteed by federal and state constitutions and statutes. Among our civil rights is the freedom of speech and religion, the freedom from unreasonable government intrusions, the right to bear arms, the right to make contracts, the right to a speedy trial, the right to due process, the right to vote and the right to equal protection. Not to be confused with human rights which are bestowed upon us by nature of birth and are universal, civil rights are protected by law and granted by virtue of an individual's citizenship.
