Yes, our federal Constitution secures Civil Rights for the People.We covered this concept already. That is why you seem so annoying when you do that.Because our Constitution secures civil rights.Absolute nonsense and another dodge.
You have tried to use "Due Process" as an explanation as to why our individual rights come from state constitutions and not the US Constitution. And yet, you have no explanation as to how or why. Throwing words out does not change anything.
Answer a simple question. It is not a trap. You are the one who thinks Due Process makes the state constitutions the source of individual rights. How so?
And? My right to free speech is guaranteed by the 1st amendment. That is an individual, civil right. It cannot be overruled by a state constitution.
As you grow up, you should learn one simple skill that will serve you well. Learn to admit when you are wrong. This spouting esoteric nonsense and pretending it means something is worthless.
In our republic there is a hierarchy of authority. The US Constitution is the supreme law of the land. In a constitutional republic, there is one constitution that stands supreme. 50 separate constitutions do not.
The People and the militia are plural not singular. The specific language in State Constitutions, covers the Individual rights of natural born Persons.
Oh jeez. That is what you base your entire argument on? That people is plural? Yes, it is plural because....are you ready? There is more than one person covered by the US Constitution.
And are you telling me that you have looked at each state's constitution and they ALL use the word "persons"? REally?
No, Daniel. This is absolutely ridiculous. There is not one reputable constitutional scholar who believes that the use of the word "people" means the rights are not individual rights. Stick with "she owes me my turn". That is less ridiculous.
Are you actually claiming that the US Constitution guarantees free speech for a group of people but not for an individual?
