Right to bear arms.

We have the right to bear arms and the right to freedom of speech. Most countries don't have those rights so I would say those are the most distinguishable from other developed nations. The other basic rights we have are similar but slightly different in other developed countries. We have a lot more rights than dictatorships and many of the under-developed nations.

For example it's a lot easier to get sued for defamation in England. That's why a lot of celebrities chose to file libel suits there... if jurisdiction can be established there in an internationally circulated publication.

The USA is a common law nation and therefore you are innocent until proven guilty.

In the USA you have: the right of free speech; the right to bear arms; the right not to be tried for the same crime twice; the right not to testify against yourself; the right against cruel and unusual punishment.

The 'bill of rights' is one of the things which makes teh U.S. Constitution unique in the world.

None.

Not that international law enumerates a whole lot of rights for countries, or that there's much force behind it.

American citizens do enjoy (or more often, take for granted, or ignore) a lot of rights that citizens of some other countries do not have.
