Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment outline negative rights, which are freedoms that the government cannot deny or violate. Examples include the right to free speech, religion, press, and assembly. These rights are often referred to as negative liberties because they limit the government's power over individuals rather than bestowing positive rights or entitlements.
