I’ll let them stand too. It’s the basis of the Republican form of government vs feudalism, monarchism, pure democracy, and so on.
To sum it up: We give the government certain rights to handle certain business and they respect our rights that are enumerated in a constitution. It’s a 2-way road that keeps the country free but not delve into anarchy. It’s why we can be taxed and it’s not ‘stealing’ to pay for things that elected leaders do.
Have you even read the Constitution?
There is no “respect our rights” - WE gave them specific powers and authority (NOT Rights!) to administer certain elements which are better handled collectively - defense, etc ...
When our elected officials decide on thier own to exceed those powers granted and take/use monies for purposes other than those intended - that IS theft.
You are a socialist... and sadly your indoctrination has not even entered your psyche.
