It should first be noted that the words "human rights" are not in the constitution itself. But the rights Americans have certainly are elaborated in a number of the amendments. Most important is the First Amendment to the constitution, written by James Madison, who became the fourth President of the United States. This amendment guarantees freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, etc. Voting rights were granted to black males in the fifteenth amendment, and to women in the Nineteenth Amendment.

Yes I would...if you understand the reason Alexander Hamilton, wanted to put into effect the Bill of Rights. He felt that human rights were "not specifically defined."

Madison was afraid that by "Amending" the Constitution, it would lead to further amendments, that would "change" the initial meaning of the Constitution.
