Besides historically vital rights against certain forms of discrimination, federal laws based on the Constitution give the right to most citizens over 18 to vote. It also protects prisoners from violations, including cruel and unusual punishment, and guarantees them minimal rights to privacy even while in prison.<\/p>\r\n

While these rights do not get as much attention as protection from discrimination, they are just as important to the country’s moral and political integrity.
