1. Question

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.<br><br> Civil rights are the protections and privileges of personal power and rights given to all citizens by law. Civil rights are distinguished from 'human rights' or 'natural rights,' also sometimes called 'our God­ given rights.' Civil Rights are rights that are bestowed by nations on those within their territorial boundaries, while natural or human rights are rights that many scholars claim that individuals have by nature of being born. For example, the philosopher John Locke (1632-1704) argued that the natural rights of life, liberty, and property should be converted into civil rights and protected by the sovereign state as an aspect of the social contract. Others have argued that people acquire rights as an inalienable gift from the deity or at a time of nature before governments were formed. Civil rights in the United States have usually been understood negatively, as meaning that the government should cease withholding freedoms and rights from persons and should not discriminate against people on the basis of race, sex, national origin, religion, and so on, and that it should put laws and a governmental attitude in place that forbids such forms of unjust discriminatory action.

Who is entitled to be benefitted by civil rights?
