Civil rights are generally guaranteed by the
federal government and sometimes by states. Examples of federal civil rights
include freedom of speech, the right to vote, and the right to enjoy goods and
services in businesses and other institutions open to the public. Civil rights
apply to all people equally, regardless of race, religion, national origin,
sex, or disability. Some states also do not allow discrimination on the basis
of sexual orientation. If you feel you have been discriminated against in
employment, housing, credit, or other areas, an attorney can help you determine
if your civil rights have been violated, and help you make sure your rights are
respected.
