“Though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable;...the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression”

The only way that I can see that minorities can be protected is constitutionally enumerated rights. Do you have any insights on minority protections?

You are saying that as if the “minority” reference is to a class of persons. It is not. Yes I know exactly the framers intent in “how” to protect the rights of folks that are in the minority. It is called private property rights.

Of course the intent of smoking bans is to trample private property rights into nonexistence. It has been so successful that even “conservatives” cheer for it.

The Constitution does not enumerate rights. It enumerates the powers of government.

Rights are what you have by being human.
