“I’m curious, is there anything in the constitution that forbids murder, or are those just state and federal laws?”
I found the answer. There are only three crimes mentioned in the constitution - treason, piracy and counterfeiting.

So, murder is not unconstitutional, but limiting religious freedom is. So strictly speaking, exercising your religious
beliefs of sacrificing virgins, or heathens, is protected by the constitution, and it trumps any state or federal laws that would forbid it.
The closer one looks at the constitution the more problematic things one finds. In places it’s overly broad and tolerant.
The one in the declaration that claims all men are created equal is also an obvious lie, a noble lie, but a lie nonetheless, and one that today is causing a lot of grief by lending legitimacy to the “equity” movement.
Uh, no. It means that all humans are equal in the sight of God.
The courts have never, ever understood the First Amendment to be absolute and unrestricted. Freedom of the press does not mean that libel must be allowed. You don't have the right to infringe on someone else's rights just because you declare that infringement to be your religious belief.
Saying that "murder is not unconstutional" ignores the requirement of the fifth and fourteenth amendment's statement that nobody can be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
If you want to reference the Declaration, mention where the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness isn’t a Right given or taken away from Govt/Man.
But a Right from God.
Life..
And before Life can be taken, it is to be done with Due Process..
