Incorrect.While the Declaration of Independence lays out the presupposition that every man has unalienable Rights, it took the Bill of Rights to guarantee those Rights.
Wrong. The first ten amendments were added as a result of the conditional ratification of the Constitution by several of the States. These amendments were designed to limit federal power and only applied to the federal government.
For more than a century the Supreme Court has acknowledged the fact that the Bill of Rights places limits and restrictions on state and local governments as well.
Incorporation Doctrine
Individuals are not governments. Answered this in a previous post above.
