Final answer:

The rights in the vertical plane above ground level refer to air rights related to property ownership and the use of airspace above the land, which are subject to regulations and governance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question inquires about the rights inherent in the vertical plane above ground level. These rights are not about common civil liberties but are instead related to property and airspace laws. The issue here is primarily the legal doctrine that real estate ownership can include the space above the land, to a reasonable extent, where such rights can be regulated by the government for air traffic control and other matters. This can be described in terms of air rights or the 'column of airspace' that runs vertically above a property.

The rights such as the right to marry, to vote, to privacy, or free exercise of religion, while fundamental, are not directly relevant to the vertical space above a property. Instead, the relevant rights would involve tenure and/or ownership, potentially the right to a healthy environment, and in historical contexts, even rights over 'property' such as slaves as mentioned in passages referencing outdated and abolished practices.

Property owners and those involved in real estate, construction, and environmental conservation need to understand these rights, as they may include the ability to develop the airspace, such as for building structures, or to protect against environmental harm. These rights, like other forms of property rights, are also subject to governance and must be balanced against public interests and regulatory frameworks.
