CIVIL RIGHTS
I INTRODUCTION
Civil rights and civil liberties, political and social concepts referring to guarantees of freedom, justice and equality that the state may make to its citizens. Although the term has no precise meaning in law and are sometimes used interchangeably, distinctions will be made in May. Civil rights are used to imply that the state has a role positive ensuring all equal protection before the law and equal opportunity to exercise the privileges of citizenship and also to participate fully in national life, without distinction of race, religion, sex or other characteristics unrelated to the value of the individual. Freedoms calendar is used to refer to guarantees of freedom of speech, press or religion, to respect the law, and other limitations on state power to restrict or dictate the actions of individuals.

II HISTORY
Wartime discrimination in Canada Canadian naval officers in Esquimalt, British Columbia, to confiscate the boat of a fisherman Canadian Japanese in 1941. During the War World, the Canadian government detained thousands of Japanese Canadians and seized their property.
The notion that human beings have inalienable rights and freedoms which can not justly be violated by others or by the state is tied to the history of democracy. He first been expressed by philosophers of ancient Greece. Socrates, for example, chose to die rather than renounce the right to express his thought in research of wisdom. A little later Stoic philosophers made explicit the doctrine of human rights (see Stoicism). Traces of the libertarian doctrine appears in the Bible and the writings of the Roman statesman Marcus Cicero and the Greek essayist Plutarch. Such ideas, however, does not gain a permanent seat in the political structure of the Roman Empire and all but disappeared during medieval times.
An early development
Declaration of Rights because the Constitution of the United States granted the federal government so much power, by the previous Articles of Confederation, several states have requested a list of amendments to guarantee individual rights against intrusion by the federal government. The first ten amendments, known as the Bill of Rights, embodying the libertarian ideas in the United States. The amendments to protect rights such as freedom of speech (First Amendment), the right against illegal searches and seizure (Fourth Amendment) and the right to a trial public criminal by a jury (Sixth Amendment).
Individual freedom can only survive in a legal system whereby the ruler and the ruled are linked. Such a system of fundamental laws, whether written or embedded in tradition, is known as a constitution. The idea of a government limited by law has been effective expression for the first time in the Magna Carta (1215), which verified the power of the king of England. The Magna Carta did not result from democratic or egalitarian beliefs, but rather a treaty between the king and nobility that have defined relations and laid the foundations of the idea that the ruler was subject to the law rather than above it. The development of a government Constitutional has been slowed by the persistence of ideas of absolutism, the belief that political power should be in the hands of an individual and divine right, which held that kings derived their power and are accountable only to God-. These beliefs were widespread across Europe until the 18th century. The idea that people have the right to ask him to consent to acts of government does not come without a prolonged struggle. The reigns of the Tudor monarchs and the Stuarts in England were marked by violent conflicts between Crown and Parliament.
On the European continent, the struggle between authoritarian and libertarian principles developed around issues of religious rather than secular. During the Reformation, freedom religious belief and practice was a primary concern. The tolerance was rare as late as 1612, for example, members of the sect were Unitarians were burned as heretics in England (see Unitarianism). Not until the late 18th century did the ideals of tolerance religious, firmly rooted in Western civilization.
Boston Massacre revolutionary wars in France, England and the United States have led to incorporation of libertarian principles in the governments of each country. Among these principles, the idea that people should have a voice in government their country. Before these principles could be enshrined in the constitutions of these countries, however, everyone has been ravaged by terrible wars. The Boston Massacre as shown in the engraving, was one of the smaller battles of the American Revolution. The event was not really a massacre, but a street fight between a mob and a squad of British soldiers who ended with the deaths of five colonists.
Following English, American and French Revolutions, the libertarian ideals have been incorporated into the structure of national governments. In England, the struggle between Parliament and the Stuart absolutist monarchs led to the so-called revolution of 1688. King James II was expelled and the new King William III gave the penalty Royal (1689) of the Bill of Rights (English Bill of Rights), which guarantees a constitutional government. Subsequently, the sovereign prerogatives have been limited by law and custom. The idea of a constitutional system is described in the writings of English philosopher John Locke, who has profoundly influenced leaders of the American colonies.
The 17th century was also marked by the growth of individual freedom in Britain. In the common law courts, for example, judges have become more attentive to the rights of persons accused of crime and procedural safeguards have been established.
B proliferation of civil liberties
British colonists brought the concepts of limited government and individual liberty in the New World. The first laws of Virginia, Massachusetts and other colonies reflects the interest in the reform process Criminal looming in Britain. A significant event in the history of civil liberties was the defense of Success (1735) in New York by Philadelphia lawyer Andrew Hamilton, printer John Peter Zenger, who was accused of seditious libel for criticizing government colonial in its publication of the New York Weekly Journal. Hamilton established the principle that the government will not punish the truthful publication in May issues of Anxiety public. See the trial of John Peter Zenger.
The events that led to American and French Revolutions inspired writings which laid the foundations for modern ideas of civil society freedoms by authors such as French philosophers Voltaire and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the British reformer John Wilkes and the philosopher Jeremy Bentham, the Anglo-American writer Thomas Paine and the American statesmen Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The Declaration Rights of Man and Citizen in France and the Bill of Rights Constitution of the United States formally established libertarian principles as basis of modern democracy.
Although civil liberties are often considered part and parcel of a democratic government the principles of limited government and personal freedom have been developed in England at a time when political power was held by an aristocratic upper class. Similarly, in the American colonies, the founders of many is not conducive to democracy in the modern sense. Indeed, the framers of the U.S. Constitution provided a method for electing the president of the nation avoid a popular vote Direct. Conversely, history offers many examples of countries where political power is formally assigned to representative assemblies, but the application of the law is arbitrary or despotic, and minorities have few safeguards against the tyranny of majorities.
III CIVIL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS CIVILIANS IN THE UNITED STATES
Civil rights and freedoms of American citizens largely enshrined in the Bill of Rights (first ten amendments the Constitution) and similar provisions in the constitutions of the state. The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech, press, assembly, and religious practice and the separation of church and state (see speech, freedom of; press, freedom of the; Religious Liberty). The Fourth Amendment protects privacy and security of home and personal effects and prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures. The fifth the Eighth Amendment protects those accused of a crime, they ensure, for example, the right to trial by jury, the right to confront hostile witnesses and to have a lawyer and the privilege not to testify against oneself. The Fifth Amendment also contains the general security that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law (see Due Process of Law). The origin, these changes binding for the federal government. However, Decisions by the Supreme Court of the United States have established that the due process clause the 14th amendment (ratified in 1868) applies a number of safeguards in the Bill of Rights to actions by state and local governments.
