If a legal right of a person is violated, he can move to an ordinary court, but if a fundamental right is
violated the Constitution provides that the affected person may move to High court or Supreme Court.
This distinguishes it from other rights. The Supreme Court is the guardian of fundamental rights.
They guarantee rights such as religious freedom, freedom of the press, and trial by jury to all American
citizens. First Amendment: Freedom of religion, freedom of speech and the press, the right to assemble,
the right to petition the government. Second Amendment: The right to form a militia and to keep and bear
arms.
Civil liberties concern basic rights and freedoms that are guaranteed -- either explicitly identified in the
Bill of Rights and the Constitution, or interpreted or inferred through the years by legislatures or the
courts. The right to a fair court trial. The right to marry. The right to vote.
Civil rights include the ensuring of peoples' physical and mental integrity, life, and safety; protection from
discrimination on grounds such as race, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, colour, age, political
affiliation, ethnicity, religion, and disability; and individual rights such as privacy.
