...did away with Divine Rights Of Anybody...

WRONG! "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights..."

The Bill of Rights isn't an enumeration of rights granted by government. It is a recognition of inalienable rights the government can't infringe upon. These rights were considered Divine because they are God given, not man made.

Show me where "divine" shows up in the Constitution.
