Civil rights

From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change

Civil rights are rights that all people in the same country should have. The civil rights of one country apply to all its citizens within the borders of the country. The rights are given by the laws of the country. Civil rights are not the same as human rights.
