Civil liberties
Civil liberties or personal freedoms are personal guarantees and
freedoms that the government cannot abridge,
either by law or by judicial interpretation, without due process.
Though the scope of the term differs between countries,
civil liberties may include the freedom of conscience, freedom of press,
freedom of religion, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, the right to security and liberty,
freedom of speech, the right to privacy, the right to equal treatment under the law and due process,
the right to a fair trial, and the right to life.
Other civil liberties include the right to own property,
the right to defend oneself, and the right to bodily integrity.
Within the distinctions between civil liberties and other types of liberty,
distinctions exist between positive liberty/positive rights and negative liberty/negative rights.
Many contemporary states have a constitution, a bill of rights,
or similar constitutional documents that enumerate and seek to guarantee civil liberties.
Other states have enacted similar laws through a variety of legal means, including signing and
ratifying or otherwise giving effect to key conventions such as the European Convention
on Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
The existence of some claimed civil liberties is a matter of dispute,
as are the extent of most civil rights.
Controversial examples include property rights, reproductive rights, and civil marriage.
The degree that democracies have involved themselves
in needs to take into fact the influence of terrorism.
Whether the existence of victimless crimes infringes upon civil liberties is a matter of dispute.
Another matter of debate is the suspension or alteration of certain civil liberties
in times of war or state of emergency,
including whether and to what extent this should occur.
The formal concept of civil liberties is often dated back to Magna Carta,
an English legal charter agreed in 1215 which in turn was based on pre-existing documents,
namely the Charter of Liberties.
