Fundamental Rights from WikiPedia:

The doctrine of fundamental rights is a feature of United States law under which certain human rights that are enshrined in the U.S. Constitution are given a high degree of judicial deference in conflicts between individual liberty and governmental intrusion. Although many fundamental rights are also more widely considered to be human rights, the classification of a right as fundamental invokes specific legal tests used by courts to determine the carefully constrained conditions under which the United States government and the various state governments may impose limitations on these rights.

The rights that are considered fundamental, are the rights that are essential to freedom. The basic rights to free speech and protection of self and property, are to be considered unalienable by any person or government. This means people are given these rights not from government, but from nature. As such government can not infringe upon one's fundamental rights without enslaving those they wish to control.
