I’m not entirely sure that is true, either, because the Founders expected the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to apply to Tories as well. I’m interested, if you have some citations to the Federalist Papers or other sources, to continue.

I am talking about what actually occurred. Tories were routed out, run off or if they didn’t run they were often killed, property seized and auctioned to pay for the war effort. You read high minded niceties extended to all into the Constitution in the face of the reality that gave birth to it. even the subjects with whom they had just fought a bloody war in order to separate themselves, to them you’d extend every right within a nation they still wanted to subdue, right up to the War Of 1812.

You couldn’t possibly be more wrong. This sort of thing is another reason I’ve always thought you foreign. Your use of the language gets wackier and wackier as you anger, and you just don’t get things than an actual American would get.

Why are you defending a foreigner attacking the Constitution and calling US citizens who protest these attacks “traitors”?
