Fundamental rights

rights protected and upheld by law

Fundamental rights are a set of rights that are recognized under the laws of a country to protect their citizens. These laws protect these rights even from the governments themselves.[1] These protected rights include the right to life, right to freedom, and the right to free will.[2] Other generally agreed upon examples of fundamental rights include freedom of religion, the right to free speech, the right to travel and the pursuit of Happiness.[2] Fundamental rights are different from human rights. Fundamental rights are those protected by laws of a jurisdiction. Human rights are usually not enforceable by courts.[2] Sometimes fundamental needs are associated with the concept of maslowism.[3]
