Life, liberty and the persuit of happiness. Without life, there are no rights, so when the out of control Supreme court said it's legal to kill innocent babies before birth, they infringed on every one of their rights. As for the death penalty, those people gave up their right to life when they took another person's life. In that case, it's not murder, but consequences.

This is the insanity of giving anyone power.  The American Constitution is meant to restrain the power of the state and the government by protecting individual Rights as sacrosanct and inviolate.  However, too often the government and state have colluded to convince and coerce people into surrendering a Right for a government permit or state-given benefit in the name of greater "security".  This is a form of fraud, and is clearly taking advantage of a electorate that is too stupid, thanks to continually dumbed-down ciriculums, to know better.  There's a sucker born every minute, which means there are billions of them on the face of this globe.

Governments have specific rights.  Most of the Bill of Rights ammendments dealt with individual rights.  To allow the specific government rights (eminent domain comes to mind right away) the 10th ammendment was passed ot allow state governments to exercise their powers

The government has no right that we do not give it.  They have the duty to offer us protection and work with foreign governments on our behalf.\n\nThe government does not exist without our consent.

Our constitution gives us the right to make fun of anybody or anything we want. Not that i agree with it but i will defend anyones right to say whatever they want about whomever they want.

You have the right to remain silent. \nAnything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. \nYou have the right to speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during any questioning. \nIf you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you at government expense. \nDo you understand these rights as I have explained them to you?

The U.S. Constitution is the basis for all law in the U.S.  It describes the how the government of the Unitied States operates.  It also grants people certain rights.\n\nOf course, the present administration has great contempt for the Constitution.

The Bill of Rights tell you what  rights as a private citizen of this country you're entitled to.\n The Constitution tells how the government is formed,the different branches and levels of government. And,how it works explaining what it can and cannot do.\n Some of the rights I enjoy are "The right to assemble". \n                                                       "The right to keep and bear arms".\n                                                       "The right to trial by jury". Over the years, I've met several people on the Net and some of them have told me that they wished that their governments allowed  a trial by jury. I tell them that most people in this country avoid jury duty like as if it was a plague and an inconvenience of their time. If you don't use it,you WILL lose it.

First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution\n\n"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."\n\nFreedom of speech, religion, the press, assembly and right to petition.   Wow!!!!!!!!  Sometimes I forget how powerful and important those rights are!    To have our own opinions and be able to freely express them ! ! ! ! !  Wow! ! ! ! ! ! !

2 words buddy, John Locke. If you talk about Locke, and "The Rights of Man" you should be OK. Use Wikipedia, and look up his Second Treatise on Government.

it's not, \n\nIf the ACLU or some real constitutional lawers would step up to the plate and challange it, we could get somewhere.  \n\nand for the guy who said we don't have a right to privacy, how about you read the bill of rights.  \n\n"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."\n\nso "sneek and peek" wouldn't exactly be constitutional.

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects the right to freedom of religion and freedom of expression from government interference. See U.S. Const. amend. I. Freedom of expression consists of the rights to freedom of speech, press, assembly and to petition the government for a redress of grievances, and the implied rights of association and belief. The Supreme Court interprets the extent of the protection afforded to these rights. The First Amendment has been interpreted by the Court as applying to the entire federal government even though it is only expressly applicable to Congress. Furthermore, the Court has interpreted, the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as protecting the rights in the First Amendment from interference by state governments. \n\nTwo clauses in the First Amendment guarantee freedom of religion. The establishment clause prohibits the government from passing legislation to establish an official religion or preferring one religion over another. It enforces the "separation of church and state. Some governmental activity related to religion has been declared constitutional by the Supreme Court. For example, providing bus transportation for parochial school students and the enforcement of "blue laws" is not prohibited. The free exercise clause prohibits the government, in most instances, from interfering with a persons practice of their religion.\n\nThe most basic component of freedom of expression is the right of freedom of speech. The right to freedom of speech allows individuals to express themselves without interference or constraint by the government. The Supreme Court requires the government to provide substantial justification for the interference with the right of free speech where it attempts to regulate the content of the speech. A less stringent test is applied for content-neutral legislation. The Supreme Court has also recognized that the government may prohibit some speech that may cause a breach of the peace or cause violence. The right to free speech includes other mediums of expression that communicates a message.\n\nDespite popular misunderstanding the right to freedom of the press guaranteed by the first amendment is not very different from the right to freedom of speech. It allows an individual to express themselves through publication and dissemination. It is part of the constitutional protection of freedom of expression. It does not afford members of the media any special rights or privileges not afforded to citizens in general.\n\nThe right to assemble allows people to gather for peaceful and lawful purposes. Implicit within this right is the right to association and belief. The Supreme Court has expressly recognized that a right to freedom of association and belief is implicit in the First, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments. This implicit right is limited to the right to associate for First Amendment purposes. It does not include a right of social association. The government may prohibit people from knowingly associating in groups that engage and promote illegal activities. The right to associate also prohibits the government from requiring a group to register or disclose its members or from denying government benefits on the based on an individuals current or past membership in a particular group. There are exceptions to this rule where the Court finds that governmental interests in disclosure/registration outweigh interference with first amendment rights. The government may also, generally, not compel individuals to express themselves, hold certain beliefs, or belong to particular associations or groups.\n\nThe right to petition the government for a redress of grievances guarantees people the right to ask the government to provide relief for a wrong through the courts (litigation) or other governmental action. It works with the right of assembly by allowing people to join together and seek change from the government.\n\nNOTE: Seperaion of Ch

You want to know what *your* rights are while you're on *my* property??\n\nInteresting question.\n\nYou need to tell people what state you're in, but don't expect any golden eggs here.  If you're on someone else's land, what "extra" rights do you think you're going to have that you wouldn't have anywhere else?
