how do all the aggrieved from former generations

I find it very difficult to believe that the state's constitution granted this "right."

Our rights are not granted by documents. They are sometimes confirmed in them, or enshrined in them, but they are not granted by them. And the absence of a right from the text of a documents does not mean, in the least, that the right does not exist and is not fundamental.

Constitutions do not GRANT rights -- they are SUPPOSED to delineate the extent to which a government may infringe or restrict those rights.

And as all Americans know, rights are not endowed by our Creator, but given by the grace of government. I learned this from Ronald Reagan himself /sarcasm off

It doesn't matter whether the constitution grants a "right" if the constitution doesn't grant the government the "power" to act in the first place. It's disconcerting how many people have a serious mental block over understanding that concept..

PS. I should say that in principle it doesn't matter, since in practice it obviously does matter.
