The Constitution of The United States safeguards are not in place to limit individual rights, but to protect those rights. Most countries have laws that may appear to be limitations, but are really put in place to protect all the people, not just those with or without money or those that are of a certain color or race. If these laws were not in place, people with power would trample the rights of those without power.

Bill of Rights
Added protections for individual rights.
The first ten amendments to the Constitution contain a list of individual rights and liberties. The Bill of Rights limits the powers of government. Its basic purpose is to protect two kinds of rights: individual rights, such as freedom of speech and press, and the rights of persons accused of crimes, like the right to trial by jury.
In the US, the Constitution stipulates that protection must be for a limited time. This is one way in which the law is attempting to balance individual rights with the public good.

The Anti-federalists opposed the Constitution because it didn't have a section protecting individual rights.
