The only way to do that would be to get rid of the mechanism by which weath is accumulated and exchanged for anything, i.e. money, as well as eliminate the motivation to do so, such as providing a post-scarcity environment. Luckily, both of these are possible in North America (and possibly elsewhere) by using Technocracy: technate.org/tiki-index.php?pa
The added benefit of this is that it also makes political government unnecessary, thus removing the other primary tool for removing people's rights. By comparison, in Technocracy, people's rights would be an objective part of how the system functions, built-in at the highest level. Any violation of such would be like a vital part of your car's engine being broken.

Congress controls the budget and spending. Not the White House and definitely not unelected, unvetted technocrats!

"It's becoming clear that Elon Musk, under the banner of the totally made-up and not-authorized Department of Government Efficiency, has deployed a team of engineers barely old enough to buy beer and with ZERO government experience and given them free reign over the Treasury Department — and direct access to the code used to process TRILLIONS of dollars in federal payments.

"They are reportedly rewriting code, installing their own private email servers, and have access to the Social Security number of every living American. The ultimate goal of all this is clearly for Elon to seize control of government funding at the source and bypass Congress entirely.

"House Democrats marched to the Treasury Dept today and were denied entrance. So they held a protest outside the building to demand accountability."
