What individual rights are provided for in the body of the original Constitution (that is, not in one of the Amendments)? DO YOU AGREE OR DISGREE WITH THIS ANSWER? EXPLAIN WHY?

An individual right presented in the original constitution was Article I, Section 9, which stated, "the privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion, the public safety may require it." This right indicates that an individual shall not be unjustly incarcerated or detained. For example, if an individual is imprisoned due to resembling the description of a wanted criminal, and that is the only thing the authorities have, and no further evidence, the courts can order the prisoner's release.

Article IV, Section 2, states," "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens of several states." This right indicates that states cannot discriminate against individuals from other states. An example is if someone from California moves to Virginia, the person from California should be treated fairly and without prejudice.
