1. "The people" did no "allocating" of their rights, as they neither wrote nor ratified the Constitution. It was written by members of the US government, and ratified by State governments.
2. You just contradicted yourself, again. You originally wrote: "...the Founders crafted the Constitution where the Rights taken from the Individual and allocated to the government..."
cory Wrote:...the courts are wrong.Well, go tell them. I'm sure they'll change their rulings.
cory Wrote:The founders intentionally made the courts the weakest branch as it's the most predisposed to tyranny.Interesting. I would've sworn that the Founders established a government with three branches of equal power.
cory Wrote:Then what are the other Rights? Why did they only specify the 3?LOL. That's my question. But, the Declaration of Independence and the Ninth Amendment clearly indicate that there are rights which neither document lists.
cory Wrote:I've hypothesized that these are the 3 principle Rights in their order of precedence, where you assume your Right to Life is your Right to Property as your Life is your first Property.I assume no such thing. My position is that "rights" do not actually exist; they are inventions of the human mind, and we have only such "rights" as we can either (a) convince others to willingly respect, or (b) use force to make them respect.
ETA: Oops. I think I misread your last sentence quoted above. By "you assume" I thought you meant me personally, but upon rereading it looks like you meant "one assumes." :o
