2. What is the difference between civil rights and human rights?

Civil Right- Rights afforded to a person by another person, particularly a minority, such as the 13th or 14th amendments, the government can interfere.

Human Rights- base rights, rights that the government cannot take away, rights you are born with.

The difference is that the government can interfere in civil rights, but cannot take away human rights. A person is born with human rights and are usually the same anywhere you go. Civil rights depends on your citizenship and can vary from country to country.
