I'd add that there are rights that exist that aren't explicitly (or even implicitly) stated as such in the US Constitution...such as the "right to privacy."

The US Constitution provides for these rights with the Ninth Amendment:

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
