American Civil Rights are all rights listed by both the United States Constitution, Articles of the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. However, since a single document written over 200 years ago can not possibly cover all possible developments for furture technology and social change, laws are established covering what rights are legal and not by the Supreme Court when the need arises.

How might the exercise of freedom of assembly conflict with individual rights and freedoms?
Because assemblies can occur in parks, streets, and other public places, they can interfere with people's rights to use those facilities. For example, a protest group might block a sidewalk and restrict the access of passersby.
Is suspending civil liberties justified in some situations?
That is one of the great debates whenever the country is in a crisis. Which freedoms can be curbed, and for how long, in an emergency? Lincoln suspended habeas corpus. FDR interred thousands of Japanese-Americans. Nixon, Bush, and Obama all invaded the privacy of Americans in the name of Security.
What did unalienable rights mean?
You can not be denied those rights.
The civil rights act of 1865?
The first Civil Rights Acts were passed in 1866, 1870, 1871, and 1875. Those acts tried to protect the ex-slaves rights and freedoms, like the right to sue, to be heard in jury trials, and the right to hold property. The Fourteenth Amendment, 1866, guaranteed all citizens of the US and all citizens in the states in which they lived, equal treatment under the law. It intended to prevent states from taking away the civil rights protected by the Constitution, from ex-slaves. As reconstruction ended and the Blacks lost political power in the South, there was no more federal civil rights legislation until The Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960.
What does D-Day mean to America?
I would not pretend to speak for all Americans, but to me it means that an incredibly large undertaking required the phenomenal sacrifices of what would have seemed to have been, on the surface, ordinary people. Overall, those involved rose to the task most admirably. I APPRECIATE THE FREEDOMS THAT THEY SECURED FOR ME.
