Define Civil Rights

question 37

Define civil rights. How do they differ from civil liberties? How are they best protected? Is it possible for all people to enjoy civil rights equally, or do the civil rights of some groups necessarily infringe on the civil rights of others? Can persons from groups that have historically enjoyed positions of privilege be said to possess civil rights?
