| | Civil rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | States frequently grant civil rights in excess of federal law, such as Article 21 of the Maryland Constitution, which requires that a jury be unanimous in order to convict a person of a crime. | | | One famous (and controversial) example of a right implied from the U.S. Constitution is the "right to privacy", which the U.S. Supreme Court found to exist in the 1965 case of Griswold v. | | | Civil rights are the protections and privileges of personal liberty given to all citizens by law. |
