5. More about Civil Liberties
Think about specific protections under the Bill of Rights
The First Amendment guarantees citizens the right to practice whatever religion they please
But it’s important to note that sometimes these rights/liberties may be limited in the interest of the greater public good
So, the government cannot interfere in an individual’s freedom of worship
Amendments 1-10 give individuals “liberties” from the actions of the government

6. More about Civil Rights
Term associated with the protection of minority groups
Based on discrimination from race, gender, or other minority status
