Just a perfunctory glimpse at history will reveal the fact that the Declaration and the Constitution were written under two divergent legal standards. What kind of question is this?
I don't care. Ever hear that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?
See, now this is EXACTLY why we have a Constitution designed to limit the power of government. It is supposed to be a higher law, not subject to the will of the majority. No law should be passed that serve the needs of the majority at the expense of the rights of a minority.
You stripped it of its context. We're not talking about sending people back into slavery, we're talking about one guy who's got issues with his wife and making a national issue of it and dividing the country is how he deals with it. Please.
I agree with Kemperor. The whole purpose of a constitution is tp prevent majority tyranny.
