This conflation of states rights with individual rights must stop. The video replicates that error. The Bill of Rights had nothing whatsoever to do with individual rights. The States already had their individual rights pursuant to their own state Constitutions. They didn't need those rights protected by the federal government. The simply needed the federal government not to infringe on state legislation, or the rights of states. (The claim that states have no rights is one of those absurd fallacies that pass for oracular wisdom these days. States do have rights as well as powers. They have powers in their superordinate relationship to the municipal governments of the states, and they have rights in their subordinate relationship to the federal Government.
Thus none of the Bill of Rights apply to the States and were only applicable to the Congress. Nor do they protect individual rights, as I think the video implies. They protect only states' rights; that is, the rights of the states and the principle of dual sovereignty.

SCAM! declarations & constitutions have been around 5, 000 years +. the electoral college was invented as a criminal scam in 560BC. the colonist enjoyed the 1689 bill of rights. the anti federalist were not against a constitution. they were against the federalist giving themselves absolute powers and rigging elections with the electoral college. George Mason copied EVERYTHING from his uncles books. the federal constitution gives fake rights that the states take away. Washington, president of the house of burgesses 3 times. was of royal king John's bloodline and Lord Fairfax's cousin. the founders were criminal con artist. YOUR VOTE DOESN'T COUNT!

colonist were ruled by a constitutional monarchy and enjoyed the 1689 bill of rights. after the war they had nothing because the founders refused to give others any rights that would break their monopoly. the people rioted for 3 years while Washington forbade the bill of rights and finally won a stripped down version. there is no legal proof of who wrote it. Mason copied it from his uncles books and others edited it. Jefferson was in France. Franklin in England.

As much as I love the Constitution, it needs to be made easier to ratify amendments. many things have changed since the last Amendment was ratified in 1992, 22 years after it was proposed. The world is changing much faster and the rate of change is only going to get faster, so being more able to change or add laws to the Constitution is PARAMOUNT in these turbulent, Highly Divided times.

Repealing the second amendment does nothing. The bill of rights doesnt GIVE us these rights. It says in the constitution we are BORN with these rights and they are given by god. They cannot be Taken even by repealing the amendments. these rights will always be ours. And I know you liberals out there want Uncle Sam to protect you but who will protect you from Uncle Sam?

When the people fear the government there is tyranny, when the government fears the people there is liberty. John Basil Barnhill. Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech. Benjamin Franklin. People never give up their liberties but under some delusion. Edmund Burke.

I can already see the Alexander hamilton vs Aaron burr duel video. American founding father Alexander Hamilton is being rowed back across the Hudson after being shot by Vice President Aaron burr. But how did it get to his point? To answer that we have to go back.

American: WE NEED GUNS TO BE SAFE FROM MURDERERS!
Smart person: If you have guns so will the murderers. Therefore, all allowing people to have guns does is escalate dangerous situations into very dangerous situations.
American: shoots smart person
