How are civil rights and civil liberties different?
There is no difference between civil rights and civil liberties as both are granted by government. There is a glaring difference between rights and civil rights. Rights are inherent in people and preexist governments civil rights exist because of governments. Rights can not be taken away by governments, they can only be denied or disparaged. Civil rights can be taken away by governments and there is no denial or disparagement simply revocation. Civil rights are paper rights protected by paper tigers. Rights, real rights are those rights protected by the blood, sweat and tears of true warriors. Governments will do their best to reign in the freedom of the people. How successful those governments can be, depends entirely upon the people.
