Explanation

A substantive right protects an individual's freedom or liberty, while a procedural right governs how the legal system must operate. Freedom of religion is a substantive right protected by the First Amendment. The right to a jury trial and the right to counsel are procedural protections; freedom of education is not a specific right listed in the Bill of Rights.
