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.
