So today in US History we were discussing the Bill of Rights and I had a crazy thought that i feel like expanding on
All the rights that the bills outlines, are those all of our rights, I mean theres only 10
And really if you think about it, would people really get together and layout a list of rights that they as a government entitles to the people who live in the country.
But, if we follow the ideas of John Locke, which most of the Declaration of Indepence is based off of, then we are entitled to three rights, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
Which we could expand on
But to think that only the Bill of Rights is limited to just 10, I mean the last one says that you are entitiled to more rights than listed but if you think about it, when people think rights, they usually just think the Bill of Rights, which they think outlines the only rights that people have.
I like questioning the government
Freedom of speech
1st amendment
