An absolute right is one that cannot be infringed upon, while a qualified right is where the state can lawfully interfere. Civil liberties fall under a third classification, which is a restricted right. Liberty can be restricted if a person commits a crime that warrants an imprisonment.
During the Revolutionary War in America, colonists picked sides for a variety of reasons. Some chose one side or another out of loyalty to family or their local community. Some chose sides based on calculations as to who was most likely to win. Some chose sides based on value-commitments and political (and philosophical) ideas; for example, many patriots believed that large, insensitive, oppressive government was a basic evil that must be fought, even if the fight does not promise to be successful.

Do we even want to begin to think of what life would be like? Civil liberties are here to protect all American citizens. With as much violence and hatred that still exists in America, civil liberties is protection from that violence and hatred. For starters racism STILL exists in America. Racial discrimination still exists as well. Now we have sexual discrimination and discrimination based up a chosen sexuality. Without those civil liberties there would be countless numbers of death, an increased rate of crime, the continuous prejudice against whomever via mass media, religion would cease to be a place of humane equality. Religious institutions would only house those who are completely indulged in the faith. Homosexuals would be beaten and abused on higher scales. I'm sure discrimination against African Americans and other minorities will be on the rise as well. America needs civil liberties to protect everyday people.
