The government cannot infringe upon these rights unless it meets the Strict Scrutiny standard. Most of these rights are not enumerated in the Constitution.

Answer:

Fundamental rights are a group of rights that have been recognized by the Supreme Court as requiring a high degree of protection from government encroachment. These rights are specifically identified in the Constitution (especially in the Bill of Rights), or have been found under Due Process. Laws encroaching on a fundamental right generally must pass strict scrutiny to be upheld as constitutional
