The Civil & Human Rights Security Act of 2010 is a federal level and solely sovereign law passed in the Union of Everett during the 8th Federal Assembly of States on July 6th, 2010. The law is the first of its kind in the country, stated within the text that the Act shall never be allowed to be legally repealed, removed, altered, destroyed or overridden, making it a "super-law". The law ensures the stated security and protection of the civil and human rights of Everetti citizens and those who visit, tour, vacation or maintain a refugee or immigration/work Visa status within the nation and its territories. The law was highly debated between Conservative states and the liberal states and passed with a moderate majority. The law specifically outlines who and what type of peoples are protected and under what senses and protections, reaffirming several civil rights laws and the Constitution's Bill of Rights.
