It was not until the end of the 18th century that fundamental human rights and freedoms, one of the most remarkable indicators and elements of democracy, have attained constitutional guarantees. The steps have been taken to provide human rights with protection at the 20th century in the international arena have been reflected at the national level and human rights have attained Constitutional Status in many countries.

This study addressing the process of being guaranteed of fundamental human rights and freedoms in constitutional systems will focus on the instruments and mechanicms devoted to the effective protection of human rights. In this regard, the indispensability of the principle of Separation of Powers in terms of the protection of human rights, the impacts of the forms of constitutions and of government types on the protection of human rights, and the models of Continental and American Constitutional Review will be discussed.
