Answer (1)
The U.S. Constitution protects individual liberties primarily through the Bill of Rights and the system of checks and balances among the branches of government. The judicial review process ensures that laws infringing upon individual rights can be challenged and invalidated. This framework maintains a balance between safeguarding freedoms and enabling democratic governance. ;
