Religion is definitely regulated,speech has been defined and is regulated,You have the right to vote for one party or the other.
The only right I can think of that is not regulated is the "right to Remain Silent"
Good luck on your search.
By the way I noticed the change from freedom to right in your thought process, should we confuse the 2 ?
I'm exercising my right to remain silent on the topic of rights and freedoms not currently regulated at a federal level til I'm less ignorant on the matter (a right that I cherish and exercise often). I'll research for individual and states' rights that currently have no federal regulation or intervention, not as a challenge, but because you've got me curious. We can talk about it at the campfire, if you're up for it.
And, yep, you're right; "freedom" and "right" are different. They are not interchangeable. I didn't change up my wording intentionally, but I stand corrected. I see a "right" as having the ability or authorization to perform some sort of activity and "freedom" as the exercising of that right. I searched quickly for some verification of my understanding, and the sources were inconsistent. What say you on the difference?
