Perhaps the motivation to create so many new "rights"....

Also the state’s rights thing is about minorities being able to move to a place where they can set up shop as they like. Because of Federal concepts like interstate commerce we end up with the oddity of something like tyranny of the minority (because you have voters in one state making decisions for everyone else), the charge to the contrary is a recognition that if you let people vote the way they want, they will, which is not the same thing at all as tyranny of the majority. Slavery was not perpetrated by the majority against the minority, you had a very small minority of people who had the right to vote, it was tyranny of the minority against the majority. Just something that’s been bugging me.
