I agree, however, you missed one thing: The Constitution "provides" nothing, but it GUARANTEES your rights. I know it seems like splitting hairs, but so many people are under the false impression that they didn't have any rights before the Constitution granted them. YOU HAVE RIGHTS, PEOPLE, START EXERCISING THEM!!!
a valid point regarding phrasing but in many instances people didn't have those civil rights before the constitution granted them. in fact in many parts of the world people don't have those civil rights now. yeah...now i'm splitting hairs. i agree exercise those civil rights.
