Rights are in the adeptly named "Bill of Rights". The preamble of which doesn't limit it, or us, to enumerated rights. No need getting into Monroe, Jefferson vs. the Federalist arguments with you. Too over your head/knowledge base.

So now the amendments to the constitution are not part of the constitution. Amazing what you can learn from a pothead. And I all ways thought that the right to bear arms was a in the constitution. But no it's in the "Bill of Rights". Gee you sure made a fool of me all right.

The Bill of Rights came years after The Constitution, however I believe you are correct in that the The Constitution and the Bill of Rights do form the Constitution and are one inseparable document.. Anyways.

Amendment IX

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
