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[reply]

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)[reply]

Wrong Wrong Wrong

Rights are not granted by the constitution. Rights are protected. If a thing is granted it is a privledge, not a right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.167.19.170 (talk • contribs) 04:27, December 8, 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.
