liberty, or property without due process of
law, nor shall any person be denied the equal
protection of the laws.
 Right to Life

 We have the inherent right to life. This right

shall be protected by law. No one shall be
arbitrarily deprived of his life.
4 Right to be free
We are born free and equal in

dignity and rights. Everyone

is entitled to all the rights and
freedoms.
 Freedom of action. You may

do what you want, when you

want, provided you don't
trample on the rights of
anyone else.
 Right to Property

 Right over a thing

 The constitutional provision, however, has
reference more to the rights over the thing.
It includes the right to own, use, transmit
and even to destroy, subject to the right of
the State and of other persons.

 Equal Protection of the laws

 Signifies that “all persons subject to

legislation should be treated alike, under
like circumstances and conditions both in
the privileges conferred and liabilities.”
