Civil liberties are the protections which are provided to every citizen legally and constitutionally against the government. The civil liberties have been derived from the Bill of Rights. The Fourteenth Amendment had also been an influencer in protecting civil liberties.The first component is the “establishment clause” which implies that there can be no laws made by the Congress to establish a specific religion. The other component is the “free exercise clause” which implies that there cannot be free exercise of any religion prohibited by the Congress. There cannot be freedom of speech in religious matters prohibited by the Congress.
