'''Individual rights''' are the rights needed by each individual to pursue their lives and goals without interference from other individuals or the government. The rights to life, liberty, and the [[pursuit of happiness]] as stated in the United States [[Declaration of Independence]] are typical examples of individual rights.<ref>“Rights or Individual Rights.” Annenberg Classroom, https://www.annenbergclassroom.org/glossary_term/rights-or-individual-rights/</ref>

=Definition=
Individual rights are those considered so essential that they warrant specific statutory protection from interference. While the U.S. Constitution, for example, divides and restricts the powers of the federal and state governments to check their own and each other’s power, it also expressly ensures and protects certain rights and liberties of individuals from government interference. Most of these rights, such as the First Amendment’s prohibition of government actions that limit the freedom of speech and the Second Amendment's protection of the right to keep and bear arms, are enshrined in the [[Bill of Rights]]. Other individual rights, however, are established throughout the Constitution, such as the right to trial by jury in '''Article III''' and the Sixth Amendment, and the '''Due Process of Law Clause''' found in the post-Civil War Fourteenth Amendment.<ref>“The Constitution's Basic Principles: Individual Rights.” U.S. Congress: Constitution Annotated, https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/intro_2_2_4/</ref>

Many individual rights protected by the [[Constitution]] deal with criminal justice, such as the '''Fourth Amendment’s''' prohibition against unreasonable governmental searches and seizures and the '''Fifth Amendment’s''' well-known right against self-incrimination. Other individual rights are established by the [[U.S. Supreme Court]].<ref>“The Constitution: Why a Constitution?” The White House, https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/our-government/the-constitution/.</ref>

=History=
The doctrine of individual rights was first formally expressed in the Declaration of Independence, approved by the [[Second Continental Congress]] on July 4, 1776, as applying to "all free white men", more than a year after the outbreak of the [[American Revolutionary War]]. While the Declaration’s primary purpose was to detail the reasons the thirteen American Coloniescould no longer be a part of the [[British Empire]], its primary author, Thomas Jefferson, also stressed the importance of individual rights to a free society.

The purpose of [[government]] is to secure and ensure the God-given inalienable natural rights of the people. In return, the people are obliged to obey the laws set down by their society, and have various other responsibilities to society. This moral contract is the very foundation of any society.<ref>“The Bill of Rights: What Does it Say?” U.S. National Archives, https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/bill-of-rights/what-does-it-say</ref>
