Which best describes how unenumerated rights differ from procedural and substantive rights?

- Unenumerated rights are not listed in the Constitution.
- Unenumerated rights cannot ever be defined.

Answer
Some rights are legal and others illegal, but not all of them are written in the Constitution. In fact, only those liberties that are specifically mentioned in the document can be called constitutional rights. procedural and substantive rights come from constitutional law.
Unenumerated rights are sometimes implied, natural, or background legal rights. They aren’t typically written into law but may become enumerated if the systematizing of existing laws demands it.
Unenumerated rights are not listed in the Constitution. Examples of these include the right to travel, the freedom to marry, and the right to vote. Procedural rights are those that outline procedures for things like criminal trials and voting. Substantive rights are more concrete and define what citizens are entitled to, such as freedom from self-incrimination or cruel and unusual punishment.
Which Best Describes How Unenumerated Rights Differ From Procedural And Substantive?
Unenumerated rights exist for the states outside of and not included in the Bill of Rights. Because these unenumerated rights are not restricted or defined, their application is broader. Procedural rights are those that establish the procedures by which laws are enacted and enforced, while substantive rights are the actual rights afforded to citizens, such as freedom of speech.
