Because these are rights guaranteed to American citizens, not universal rights. The UK doesn't have freedom of speech and whether or not I like it that's totally their prerogative. There are also many cities in the world that are not free to move to (Mecca and Pyongyang come to mind).
I don't think there's any precedent for the rights granted via American jurisprudence to be globally, generally applicable.
