Does the constitution say what rights belong to the government to be granted to the citizen?

Ok. The progressives want the age of consent lowered to puberty, about 10 years old. Should they have the right to take these kids at will if they consider it moral themselves? Who decides they can't have sex with your kid? What if there are 10 leftists and only one of you on the playground? Who wins? If morality is gray, what color would this be? Light gray? Charcoal gray? Off white?
Where's the line, and who gets to make the choice if there are no rules or moral guidelines?

We were talking about what the government can insist you not consume. Now we’re jumping around a bit.

Is someone harmed? Government force is called for.

It’s not a bit of tissue, it is a child.

Age of consent in early American history was when they reached childbearing age. Do you condemn them for doing this?
Should someone be due reparations for the rape that happened in our history because millions of brides were under the age of 16,17,18?

Age of consent is something agreed to by society. So if society agrees that drugs should be legalized. Would this be OK with you because it was agreed to by society?
