The United States Constitution guarantees every American citizen certain civil rights of personal liberty. Among these fundamental civil rights and liberties are the freedoms of speech, religion, assembly, and to petition the government, and the rights to bear arms, to procedural due process, and to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures and cruel and unusual punishments. Unfair treatment alone does not necessarily involve a violation of civil rights and liberties. It's discrimination only if you're treated unfairly because you have one of the characteristics protected by the Constitution, such as age, disability, race, religion, or sex.
