The Bill of Rights, which is YOUR Bill of Rights as a citizen of the United States, gives to you, and to every other man, woman and child in this country (remember that), the following privileges:

Freedom of Worship

Freedom of Speech

Freedom of the Press

Right of Assembly

Right of Petition

Right of Private Property

Security from Arbitrary Power

Equal Justice for Everyone

Trial by Jury

I know you are naturalized, but the Bill of Rights gives NOTHING to you, 'it just recognizes the rights that the Constitution's framers wanted to protect from government abuse were referred to in the Declaration of Independence as "unalienable rights." They were also called "natural" rights, and to James Madison, they were "the great rights of mankind." Although it is commonly thought that we are entitled to free speech because the First Amendment gives it to us, this country's original citizens believed that as human beings, they were entitled to free speech, and they invented the First Amendment in order to protect it. The entire Bill of Rights was created to protect rights the original citizens believed were naturally theirs.'

Gov. Reichsfuhrer Walz of MN does not believe in freedom of speech or assembly.

DEVELOPING: The Trump rally is apparently moving back to the Rochester airport and limited to less than 250 people. The owner of one of two Dodge Center businesses planning to host the event say they got word from the Secret Service after setting up stands for 6,000 people. pic.twitter.com/p2JsuPmKaM— Tom Hauser (@thauserkstp) October 29, 2020

This concept flows (freely) from the Reformation of the 1500s.
Martin Luther championed “freedom of the Christian conscience” and no other Christian heritage disagreed with.
Not even Rome.
Without The Reformation we would not have the USA as it is today.
