Basic principles are what legislation is supposed to be based on, not the other way around.
You do NOT look to legislation to determine what is right or wrong.
When you look to legislation instead of basic principles, that is how you end up with embarrassments like the Dred Scott Decision, a blunder that will always be a reminder of how wrong those taught law can be.
And you take your personal views and try to pretend they are all "rights" when they are clearly not.
