First-generation human rights

First-generation human rights refer to civil and political rights. The Constitution of the United States guarantees many of these rights. Examples are first amendment rights, such as freedom of speech, assembly, press, and religion. Also included are equality before the law, a right to impartial trials, and prohibition from arbitrary arrests.

Political rights include the right to contribute to policy making through free electoral participation and rights associated with the rule of law.

Finally, general rights of every human being are included — such as, prohibition on slavery, torture, and other forms of cruel and unusual punishment.
