These beliefs were enforced in early America by creating a constitution that protected these individual rights. The idea of natural rights were included in the Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights are the first ten amendments of the US Constitution. These rights guarantee important liberties including:
a) Freedom of speech b) Freedom of religion c) Right to bear arms d) Right to a jury trial
These rights were protected by the federal government and the local, state, and federal court systems.
