Luis I don't think I understand the points you are trying to make through this thread. It SEEMS to be something along the lines of "If we limit ANY rights in ANY way then we effectively have NO rights at all."

All rights have their limits. As Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic."

The Founding Fathers foresaw many things. One thing they didn't for-see was modern roads and utilities and the need a government has (with due process) to from time to time work on someones property for improvement and maintenance.

I am sure that they never imagined the complexity that we have now but they did understand that people set up communities for the betterment of society and the individual and along with those communities would be rules and regulations. To put it simply, "No taxation without representation." Somehow, some here have translated this to mean no taxes and no government.

"All rights have their limits."

The edge of my property.

At that point, my rights kick in.
