Inaccurate
This article is inaccurate. The 26th Amendment does not establish a "Right to Vote" that cannot be denied to persons. A better example of a constitutional right in the US would be the right to confront witnesses (See Confrontation Clause). I am going to change the article to reflect this. takethemud 04:54, 6 April 2006 (UTC)takethemud
Is this term US-specific?
This article is either horribly US-centric or should make it clear that it's talking exclusively about the United States. Moulder 07:01, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Scope of this article
Someone needs to decide whether this article is about "constitutional" or "inalienable" rights; i.e. whether it is about rights "merely" guaranteed by a constitution, or about rights asserted to be absolutely inherent to a person's status as a human being.
