As a result, I believe it’s only fair to say that civil liberties take precedence over civil rights in terms of importance. Civil rights issues may have more gravitas when it comes to societal conflict between different groups of people and their endowed rights, but i believe it is specifically through civil liberties which civil rights can be protected. In other words, not all civil liberties are related to civil rights, but all civil rights are related to civil liberties. Hence, Civil Liberties are more important to everyday life than Civil Rights.
