Question

Imagine two government actions. The first is a Supreme Court ruling that the government cannot prevent someone from sending out pamphlets protesting a war. The second is a government agency that reviews complaints about racial and gender discrimination by employers. The first example deals primarily with –, while the second deals with –.

Answer 1

civil liberties; civil rights

Step-by-step explanation:

Civil liberties are the rights conferred upon all citizens to freely assume and express their most personal convictions, without being persecuted by any government, institution or ethnic or social group. Because of civil liberties no one can be prevented from protesting against a war, or against any government initiative. For this reason, we can conclude that the first example, shown in the question above, deals with civil liberties.

Civil rights refer to individual freedoms, such as the right to come and go, to have one's body, the right to life, freedom of expression, property, equality before the law, unless judged outside a regular process, not having the home violated. Having civil rights guaranteed means that everyone should be treated equally under the law, the state and in any social situation, regardless of race, economic status, religion, affiliation, cultural background, gender, or life-related opinions and choices For this reason, we can conclude that the second example, shown in the question above, refers to civil rights.
