The US. Constitution does not give us rights

The Constitution prohibits the government from taking away those rights. It was written for the citizens’ protection from an oppressive government. The framers must have known that over a period of time, power-hungry individuals would try to block those fundamental rights and saw it necessary to write a document that would keep that from ever happening.
