freedom of religion

the right to a jury trial

the right to counsel

Explanation

A substantive right protects an individual's freedom or liberty, rather than setting out a procedure for a legal case. Freedom of religion is a substantive right protected by the First Amendment. Jury trials and the right to counsel are procedural protections, while a general freedom of education is not specifically guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.
