Civil liberties concern basic rights and freedoms that are guaranteed in a democratic society. The constitutions of many democracies have bills of rights that describe basic liberties and rights. Civil liberties guarantee a person against government interference except when a person affects other people by exercising his/her liberties. Then the courts of law in a democratic country interpret the limits of civil liberties.

In the [[United States]] these are explicitly identified in the [[Bill of Rights]] and the [[Constitution]] or interpreted through the courts and law makers. U.S. Civil liberties include but are not limited to:

• [[freedom of speech]]

• freedom of religion

• the right to privacy

• the right to be free from unreasonable searches of your home

• the right to a fair court trial

• the right to marry

• The right to vote

• The right of assembly
