The Bill of Rights to the 1788 Constitution was hastily written and is a bit unwieldy. For example, the 2nd Amendment disallows any infringement on gun rights, yet it was commonly understood (but not written) that guns would not be allowed to children, the insane, inmates, etc. A proper article would state all such things.
Further, the Bill of Rights itself is of a mixed nature. On the one hand, in its title, it claims to be about “rights”, but in its effect, it is largely a bill of limitations on the powers of the federal government. So which is it? Rights, or limitations? In my opinion, these issues should have been separated for clarity, and each item should have been spelled out better.
It is my intent to write a new article defining rights. My article will acknowledge more rights than does the Bill of Rights. But it will also acknowledge the responsibilities of a citizen, for the current Bill of Rights may well be causing an unintended consequence of suggesting that certain rights are natural, but that there is no accompanying responsibility.
Needless to say, this will be an expansive project!
