Do you have specific answer choices? If so, paste them and I’ll pick the correct one.

If you mean generally, examples of substantive rights protected by the Bill of Rights include:
- Freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition (First Amendment)
- The right to keep and bear arms (Second Amendment)
- Protection against unreasonable searches and seizures (Fourth Amendment)
- Protection against compelled self‑incrimination and guarantee of due process (Fifth Amendment)
- The right to a speedy, public trial by an impartial jury and to counsel (Sixth Amendment)
- Protection against cruel and unusual punishment and excessive bail/fines (Eighth Amendment)
- The right to just compensation when private property is taken for public use (Takings clause, Fifth Amendment)

(Brief note: “substantive” rights are those that protect concrete freedoms or entitlements — e.g., speech or property — as distinct from purely procedural protections about how government must conduct prosecutions or trials.)
