Natural Rights and Civil Liberties Act

The Natural Rights and Civil Liberties Act of 2012 is a piece of Allied States federal law recognizing and giving clarity to natural (human) rights and civil liberties (freedoms), and to whom they apply. The law was proposed by Senator David Rosenberg in November 2012, making it the 4th law to be passed during that year by Senate. The purpose of the Act moreover is to include all constitutional rights and rights afforded in other legislation, thus giving clarity to the Columbardian public on their freedoms and rights. The legislation also defines several disputed terms, embedding the government's interpretation thereof.
