They are all Human Rights. Human Rights are the basic rights given to individuals irrespective of his sex, race, nationality, caste, color, etc.

Depends on the region of US.  The South was openly segregated through the '60's.  That's part of what the civil rights movement was about.

You don't seem to understand the ACLU position. According to them, only Lib blacks have rights.

I don't think we need MORE civil rights.  We simply need more clarity about what our rights really are.  The problems we see today are a result of a very cloudy view that most people have over what are rights and what are merely desires.  \n\nImmigrants, for example, do not have a right to citizenship.  I respect their desire for citizenship, but this is not something they can demand.  We need to go back and rethink what it means to have rights.  Until we do that, it all becomes a big power struggle over who gets what they want.\n\nLiberty for all!

The Civil Rights Act of 1964, Pub. L. No. 88-352, 78 Stat. 241 (July 2, 1964), in the United States was landmark legislation outlawing discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Originally conceived to protect the rights of black men, the bill was amended prior to passage to protect the civil rights of all men and women.\n\nThe Act transformed American society. It prohibited discrimination in public facilities, in government, and in employment. The "Jim Crow" laws in the South were abolished, and it became illegal to compel segregation of the races in schools, housing, or hiring. Enforcement powers were initially weak, but they grew over the years, and later programs (such as affirmative action) were made possible by the Act.

We may have a lot to complain about but at least we have civil rights. Many people, like my husband, flee a country with a  political regime that makes daily life for its citizenry downright miserable. What we complain about in the USA is frivolous and petty in comparison with the real troubles facing citizens of many of the countries in the world today.

The civil War and the wars of the twentieth century are definetly turning points in the growth of civil rights. For example the end of the civil war along with the 13TH amendment bring cahanges in America. During reconstruction blacks are protected by the Freedmens Bureau which helps them out toget their voting rights. During reconstruction thanks to this bureau and both carpetbaggers and scalawags the 14th and 15th amendments are passed which define citizenship and male suffrage.With the hayes-tilden election comes the crime of 77 which allows the KKK to take power in the south but not for long because president Grant enforces  a force bill which ends the klan, but not forever. Then in ww2 there were many riots because blacks weren't allowed to be mixed with whites. This created the civil rights movement with all kinds of awr taking place like the korean and vietnam. Sit ins and freedom riders would help the movement.

(Ah, sounds like a homework question)\nIt depends upon how literal you want to go with "not listed in the Constitution."\nThe biggest one is the right to privacy, which includes right to contraception (Griswold v. Conn.) the right to an abortion (Roe v. Wade) and the right to consensual private sexual conduct (Lawrence v. Texas). \nNext, I'd say rights that "spring" from dileaneated rights.  For example, the right to have "Miranda" warnings springs from the 5th Amendment Self-Incrimination Clause.  The right to flag burning and other "expressive conduct" springs from the First Amendment Free Speech Clause.  The right to be free from state sponsored segregation springs from the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause.  The right to (basically) unlimited spending of money for political speech springs from the First Amendment Free Speech clause.  \nIn all of those in the above paragraph, there is nothing in the constitution about getting Miranda warnings, about schools not being segregated, or about getting to spend as much money as you want, but the Courts have interpreted concrete clauses in the constitution as providing those rights.\n\nPowers not in the Constitution that are returned to the States / People:\nPower to regulate real property and conveyances thereof (almost exclusively state controlled)\nPower to enact generally applicable criminal laws (almost all criminal law is state law)\nPower to decide how Presidential Electors are chosen.\nPower of localities to regulate business licenses and zoning laws (not in contradition with federal civil rights)\n\nJust a few.

Just how do you figure it violates civil rights? A civil right is a right that is codified (written into law for you libs). The most famous example is the Civil Right Act of 1964 which bars discrimination based on race, creed, religion, national origin, etc. It has been amended many times, but it is still in effect. \n\nFor instance, you see news stories every now and then about airline flight attendants or waitresses being fired for gaining too much weight. Ever wonder why the courts uphold the firings? Because it is perfectly legal to discriminate based on weight.\n\nThere is plenty of discrimination that is legal. And last time I checked, gay marriage was not guaranteed by any law. As a matter of fact, many states have already added effective constitutional bans to gay marriage in their jurisdiction by defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
