The rights of individuals ARE NOT EXCLUDED in that statement. But let's start with the First Amendment ~ it's about protecting the rights of the people to have religion free of government interference. A corollary to that is the state must protect the rights of those people to worship.

Your failure to comprehend the First Amendment is highly disturbing, and your response is right out of the Book of Useless Progressive Nonsense.

Second amendment ~ refers to the need for militias, and also refers to 'the people'. Third amendment .... keeps the Army from setting up camp in your family's home ~ the family being a fundamental group, or community, that undergirds all of society ~ BTW, this one is directed at Louis XIV. He sent the military to occupy private homes, eat their food, wear their clothes, sleep with their women ~ and all because those people refused to go to the same church as the king. It's about religious freedom.

You want me to go through the entire Bill of Rights and instruct you in the source of Conservative belief? You sure need it.

As I already pointed out to you, "people" are individuals. Every one of those amendments is a defense of individual rights.

I'm against anarchy and for government protecting individual liberties - anything more is statism.
