The best protection for fundamental rights is a determination on the part of ordinary citizens to uphold them and to respect the constitution. It can't be left to the courts alone. This is an opinion and others may have different views. Ultimately, that's the only defense we have. The federal government has already taken away many of our rights, especially those involving private property. They are on their way to taking away the rest of them. Of course, they'll have to take away the right to bear arms first. When they do, it's all over. The first ten amendments protects our fundamental rights. These first ten amendments, called the Bill of Rights, protects the US citizens from having too much government. Therefore the Bill of Rights protects our fundamental rights.
Real rights -rights that a person has over a immovable property. It must be registered against the title deed of the property, Limited rights - when there is a restriction/servitude on a property, the owners rights are limited by it, Personal rights - the right of a legal subject specified in an agreement or contract.

The concept of "fundamental rights" is a philosophical ideal. In reality, fundamental rights (if any) are defined by the government in power at the moment. In the USA, fundamental rights are established in the Constitution; but the Constitution is a changeable, arguable, interpretable and political document. Fundamental rights in the US can be established or abolished by constitutional amendment, by unlitigated Acts of Congress, by unlitigated policies and rules of the Executive branch and all its departments and agencies, by any federal court or by decision of the Supreme Court. This is one of the reasons that the selection of a Supreme Court Justice by a US President is such an important responsibility. A hallmark moment for US fundamental rights came with the Civil War of the 1860's. The conflict was fought over the issue of States Rights, which to the states of the "Confederacy" was a fundamental Constitutional right. The Lincoln government, the "Union", held that the laws and policies of the US federal government held dominance over the rights of individual states including even the right of a state to resign (secede) from the USA. In winning the Civil War, the Lincoln administration firmly established the federal government as the dictator and interpreter of fundamental rights in the nation. The issue of States Rights is being tested to this day, as states have passed legislation such as the legalization of medical marijuana only to be told that the federal government will not only cooperate but will actively oppose the state's program.
