The constitution mentions various rights and duties. The most important rights are fundamental rights. These rights were first demanded in the year 1895, it came from the constitution of India bill which is popularly known as the swaraj bill. This bill was introduced in the era of the emergence of Indian nationalism and increasingly vocal demands by Indians for self-government. it talks about freedom of speech, right to privacy, right to franchise, etc. the fundamental rights were included in the first draft constitution later in the second draft of the constitution, and finally in the third draft constitution prepared by the drafting committee.

Article 19 talks about the freedom of speech and expression and article 21 protect life and personal liberty. These provisions are called golden rules as they provide the basis for the smooth running of the life of the citizen of the country. This rule provides all-rounder protection to individuals from encroachment upon their rights from the society and others as well.
