"If those rights had always existed, there would have been no need to create them."

The bill of rights didn't create anything. It merely recognized in law the existence of what always was.

Only you can deny your own rights. As long you are alive you can make the choice to exercise them or not. Just like the laws that don't stop criminals from committing crimes, laws cannot stop anyone from exercising a natural right.

What you have failed to understand is that the founder understood that these rights exist with or without laws and placing them into law just keeps government off your back when you choose to freely exercise them.

As for the 6th grade, you were apparently totally brainwashed by that time.

As for slavery, at the time blacks were not considered men. Was that unjust? For sure. However, it has absolutely nothing to do with natural rights andsome of the blacks at the time were smart and brave enough to exercise those rights knowing they would suffer if caught doing so. That is called freedom of choice that no law can stop the willing from doing.
