Due will mark as brainliest if answered 12. how does the constitution safeguard and limit individual rights?

The Constitution contains a section called the Bill of Rights. This section can be considered a safeguard of individual rights because it makes sure that citizens maintain certain rights such as their freedom of speech, right to bear arms, and right to a speedy trial. It does also limit individual rights because there are some things that the constitution does not include and that is up to the federal and states governments to make a decision on those rights.

The Constitution is meant to keep our country functioning as a democracy and make sure that individual rights granted to us in the Consititution remain forever granted to us.

This helps limit the amount of power the government has over individuals. If there was not a bill of rights and our rights were not protected, then a President could easily decide to become a dictator and there would really be nothing we could do about it. We wouldn’t have the right to protest, follow whatever religion we want to, or to remain innocent until proven guilty. This would cause many problems on other aspects of our society.

In the media we already see police violating some people’s  Constitutional rights and sometimes not making sure due process is followed. With the Constitution these rights are protected and when they are not followed cases can even be taken to the Supreme Court to make sure every citizen gets their rights followed.

That is how the Constitution or “law of the land” safeguards and also limits individual rights.
