It's a privilege of free men, not a right. I repeat, the Constitution does not grant anything.

Read the 9th Amendment and get back to me.

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

Proves my point. The Constitution is a limited guarantee of rights, and "the people" i.e. all free men "retain" their God-given rights, even if not enumerated in the Constitution.

READ it, people, for heaven's sake!
