Question: Does Constitution discuss communal rights or individual rights,
using the letter of law based on the definition of the wording at the time
it was authored? That is the whole crux of this debate and those
concerning everything from freedom of religion to the right to a jury trial
to the prohibiting of descrimination based on race, creed, et al.
It has to be all or nothing. They are ALL either individual rights or
they are ALL collective rights.
