"Agreed but there is no prohibition against legislating about rights not enumerated in the Constitution."

Then the Constitution is a meaningless piece of paper. If the Constitution doesn't specifically empower the government to do something, the government has no legitimate power to do that thing. Otherwise, the government would be empowered to do anything and everything and the Constitution would have no weight at all.

The Constitution set up a federal system of Government. It also set up a Bill of Rights that could not be violated by legislation. It also set up a system where states could amend that Constitution. I think it's working pretty well except when people ignore it.
