Civil Rights: "The basic right to be free from unequal treatment, based on certain characteristics which we deem important, like race, gender, and disability".

Civil Liberties: "Basic freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights"

civil rights are legal actions that the government takes to create equal conditions for all people


Civil liberties, on the other hand, refer to protections against government actions
