What went wrong in the USA for that word to become a synonym for "fundamental right"?
- kaashif 3y agoThe first ten amendments to the US Constitution are known as the Bill of Rights: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Bill_of_Rights https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Bill_of_Rights So if you want to enshrine a right in US law, the highest place to do it is as an amendment to the Constitution.
