Juveniles possess several constitutional rights, including the right to due process under the 14th Amendment, the right to counsel, and protection against cruel and unusual punishment under the 8th Amendment. However, their rights can be limited in certain contexts, such as in school settings where they may have reduced protections against searches and seizures. Additionally, while they have the right to remain silent, the standards for waiving this right can differ from those applicable to adults. Overall, juveniles are afforded rights, but these can be subject to different interpretations and applications compared to adults.
