In fact this is exactly the argument many of the framers had against the bill of rights — that they were so natural and inherently obviously not to be infringed that listing a few of them might make people think anything that might have been left out was not in fact a natural right of the people! Can’t say how glad I am they decided it better to put a few key ones down on paper. Imagine if “they are so natural as to go unwritten” had won the day?
