The Constitution doesn’t Grant Rights.
It is a control over the the government and the powers given it by the people.
Fine. Grant is figurative. My point is that some constitutions are more gracious in recognizing rights than others. If you had just read my comment instead of reflexing, I’m sure you would have grasped that. Slow down a bit.
The constitution specifies some rights; it also imposes some limits on the powers of the federal government. There are times that I wish Madison had made that distinction.
