>Rights are coupled with responsibilities.<
.
The Constitution does not state that because it was written by basically disciplined and virtuous men who thought that their fellow citizens were just as responsible as they were.
The authors of the Constitution lived in an 18th century atmosphere where people were held responsible for their actions, not foreseeing the total madhouse of moral values of the late 20th and 21th centuries.
Good point. My mistake.
At this point in time there are probably a LOT of people who have never been exposed to the idea that rights and responsibilities are married to one another.
