It doesn't -- that's inherent in the structure of any legal system.
A right is something the govt is not allowed to take way -- but it's a choice of the person -- and the person can almost always consent to allow the govt to do something that the govt cannot do on its own.

The 6th amendment
The Sixth Amendment guarantee is apparently a personal right of the defendant, which he may in some circumstances waive in conjunction with the prosecution and the court.

Sixth Amendment to the Constitution -- which codifies rights related to criminal prosecutions in federal courts. The Supreme Court has ruled that these rights are so fundamental and important that they are protected in state courts by the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause.
Rights to a speedy trial, trial by jury, and representation by counsel can all be waived.
Text: "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense."
