Liberalism

A broad collection of ideologies which share the importance of protecting individual liberty and the consent of the governed at their core. Liberalism originated from the philosophies of enlightenment thinkers such as Locke and Voltaire, and is based heavily on the social contract theory. Liberalism today manifests itself in many different forms, ranging from Libertarian ideas which state that the government must interfere little in private affairs, to Social/Progressive/Modern Liberalism which holds that the government must step in to protect "positive freedoms" such as the right to an education in order for all people to have the platform needed to achieve liberty. Liberalism is neither left wing nor right wing because of this wide variety.

Barack Obama is an adherent of the forms of liberalism which place emphasis on positive freedoms.

Civil Liberties

Civil Liberties are a form of philosophical individualism that guarantee the rights of individual autonomy which governments cannot abridge. Civil liberties include things like freedom of speech, religion, press, and expression.

Civil liberties are a core component of civil libertarianism, which is a form of political individualism that supports a legal system based around the harm principle and personal freedoms against any kind of authority.

Civil liberties are personal freedoms a government gives the individuals. Political ideologies that stress support for individual freedom are: liberalism, libertarianism, anarchism, and egoism.
