that outlines rights a gov “pinky promises” not to interfere with. it can “easily” be overridden with a later amendment. see the 18th and 21st amendments.
i mean i want to say the rights are guaranteed when they’re made explicit and the powers to protect those rights are delegated from the citizenry to the government, and if that doesn’t make it clear i’m a bit of an idealist i don’t know what else will. like, you don’t get to choose where you’re born so you don’t get to choose what you “voluntarily delegate” to the government, and emigration is rarely easy so your options when society chooses opposite you are limited.
just all good reminders of something more important than your vote:
the constitution is not permanent or immutable and there exist people and groups who know this and want to change things. in bad ways.
the constitution does not “give” rights, it only takes them, and rights themselves are something that exist outside of all power structures.
hit the gym.
the nazis are.
The Sixth Amendment?
