Once again, you tell me that I only have the rights my government listed in the Constitution. Rights do not come from government, general_re.To: exodus
The "contract" does not add to the list of rights, general_re.
You ought to read it sometimes. Particularly, the 9th Amendment -
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."You're wrong, general_re.

That depends on the manner of assertion, and how many people similarly assert.
Large numbers with guns might have practical value.
"We have a contract enumerating the rights that society recognizes and protects - if you wish to add to that list, there is a procedure for so doing."
We also have a contract enumerating the powers of government. If you wish to add to that list, there is a procedure for so doing.
