On Dec. 15, 1791, the Bill of Rights was officially ratified and became part of the Law of the Land, the U.S. Constitution.
Until that day, the Constitution had not contained anything about Freedom of speech, Freedom of religion, of the Press, the Right to bear arms, etc.
Since that day, I'm still not sure if it does, judging by how the government and various persons of the southpaw persuasion (in both parties) treat it.
"The social contract exists so that everyone doesn’t have to squat in the dust holding a spear to protect his woman and his meat all day every day. It does not exist so that the government can take your spear, your meat, and your woman because it knows better what to do with them." - Instapundit.com
Libertas Super Omnia
I will say this... I've never been forced to host soldiers in my home overnight.
Liberty is the greatest measure of equality.
