Not true ColeyG, you have the power and you don't even know it. You need to read the constitution. It's your natural born rights which the Constition protects by limiting government, and framing\limiting the branches. the people self govern, the government is to look out for our interests and our national protection, nothing more.

I've spent plenty of time reading the constitution and the modern interpretations and applications thereof Rich.

The constitution is a product of man who is fallible and flawed. What rights did those born before the constitution was written have?

We are born into the rules and laws of nature which will once again govern the world long after we have all turned back into dirt.

This.

Did you miss the part about all of us having turned back into dirt?

OK , I believe the creator gives you your rights, it's up to you as an individual to assert those rights, the constitution puts limitations on government. The constitution does not limit the power of the individual.

the bill of rights was written\added not to grant the rights. every human has the same rights, does not matter where in the world they are, they are born with them. The population in these other countries could never unify to agree on limiting government, they chose enslavement instead.

In the new world, man governed himself, but also saw the need of a limited federal government, to do things in their interests, but to not rule them in any way whatsoever.

None of this has changed, but the intentions of government has changed. the government here eventually seeked to enslave, which we have let them do voluntarily. the government creates "privledges" and then trades, for your rights. the government convinces you that you need these privledges but you have to give your rights up to get them.

This is how our government controls you, they never have power over you but they do have control, via manipulation of your perception of things, and your insecurities/fears being used agianst you.
