A quick definition of constitutional right:

A constitutional right is a right that is protected by a constitution. This means that it is a right that is guaranteed by the law of the land, either by the U.S. Constitution or by a state constitution. These rights are important because they cannot be taken away by the government or anyone else, and they help to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and equally under the law.

A more thorough explanation:

A constitutional right is a right that is protected by a constitution. This means that the government cannot take away this right from its citizens. In the United States, the most well-known constitution is the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees certain rights to its citizens.

For example, the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to freedom of speech, religion, and the press. This means that the government cannot censor or punish individuals for expressing their opinions or beliefs.

Another example is the Fourth Amendment, which protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. This means that the government cannot search a person's property or belongings without a warrant or probable cause.

These examples illustrate how constitutional rights are important for protecting individual freedoms and limiting the power of the government. Without these rights, citizens could be subject to government abuse and oppression.

when do u guys think the next berk A wave will be?
12:30
@LavandeMatchaLegalis: Probably not going to be many more waves. After this many waves they kinda just send out R's the rest of the cycle at random. If their is a wave, it will be a low LSAT/GPA wave and it will be all R's and it will be in about a week.
