This *1000. It's a supreme failure on our educational system and society at large that most Americans don't think about our government and our rights in these terms.
The Constitution actually takes away our rights. It has to, it lays out the powers the government has over us. Even the bill of rights doesn't technically give us rights---it explicitly details the ways our government cannot operate.
- rexpop 14d agoI've made this point on this forum before. These are natural rights. The constitution, as you say, delineates state powers as a necessary infringement upon those rights.
