WHY IT IS
ENTRENCHED IN A CONSTITUTION
- Since constitutions are
documented, it is easy to make reference to these rights at will. - Fundamental Human rights become
undisputable when clearly entrenched in the constitution. - It becomes difficult to alter
these rights at will by the government or some powerful
individuals. - Entrenching these rights in the constitution makes it
possible for an individual whose rights are violated
to seek redress in a court of law. - The fears of minorities are
allayed if these rights are entrenched to protect them from the
majoritie. - Entrenching
these rights is in compliance with the United Nations Organisations Declaration on Human
and People’s Rights 1948.
