Fundamental rights are generally regarded set of legal protections in the context of a legal system , where such system is itself based upon this same set of basic, fundamental, or inalienable rights . Such rights thus belong without presumption or cost of privilege to all human beings under such jurisdiction . The concept of human rights has been promoted as a legal concept in a large part owing to the idea that human beings have such "fundamental" rights, such that transcend all jurisdiction, but are typically reinforced in different ways and with different emphasis within different legal systems.These are the social claims or privileges that are provided by the state to its citizens. They are inviolable and remain attached against their breaching. These rights are applicable to all, irrespective of their backgrounds.

The doctrine of fundamental rights is a feature of United States law under which certain human rights that are enshrined in the U.S. Constitution are given a high degree of judicial deference in conflicts between individual liberty and governmental intrusion. Although many fundamental rights are also more widely considered to be human rights, the classification of a right as fundamental invokes specific legal tests used by courts to determine the carefully constrained conditions under which the United States government and the various state governments may impose limitations on these rights.
