The first ten amendments to the United States Constitution are referred to as the Bill of Rights, which, together with the 13th and 14th Amendments, comprise the constitutional foundation of US civil rights law. Amongst other important rights, these documents guarantee the rights of people to be free of discrimination based on race, color, national origin, gender, religion, or age. There are additional rights for people who are discriminated against because of their disability, or marital status or sexual orientation.
It is unlawful to discriminate against people in the workplace based on one of these protected classes, such as by racial or sexual harrassment, or by discrimination because of age or religion. Depending on the circumstances, and if the conduct complained of is egregious enough, a defendant can be held liable for punitive damages in addition to damages for economic loss, emotional distress and pain and suffering.
