One of the unique things about the Constitution of the United States was that it guaranteed certain rights for its citizens.
Unfortunately, our rights are now being systematically taken away from us. In America today, the politicians have convinced most of us that in order to keep us all "safe" we must give up many of our rights and move toward becoming a totalitarian police state. In the "new America", you don't get any rights.
They tell us that giving people rights is too dangerous. Instead, you get some limited "privileges" which can be revoked at any time by the authorities. Sadly, most Americans have become so dumbed-down that they don't even realize what is happening.
Most Americans don't even understand that they have rights because they have never even read the documents that grant them those rights.
You can find the text of the U.S. Constitution right here. If you have never taken the time to read the whole thing, you really should.
According to the U.S. Constitution, the following are some of the rights that we are supposed to have....
- Freedom of religion
- Freedom of speech
- Freedom of the press
- Freedom of assembly
- Freedom to bear arms
- Freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures
- The right to due process of law
- The right to a speedy and public trial
- Freedom from cruel and unusual punishments
