These rights precede and supercede the Constitution - they are not given to us by the government, but are ours by right of birth.

That you have a write to be secure in your person, papers, house and effects against unreasonable search and seizure. And, that those rights shall not be violated by the police or agents of the government with out a warrant or probable cause that a felony has taken place, a misdemeanor has taken place in the officer's presence or that a crime is about to take place.
THAT IS PRETTY COOL. Cooler than a right to "privacy". Because it balances the rights of innocent peoples with the need of the society to be secure.

The fact that we have a Bill of Rights is pretty darn cool. Check the daily news for countries that don't have them, and be grateful you don't live in any of them. Always vote when you are old enough. Best wishes

Well, here is an interesting tidbit about the First Amendment's religion clause . . .
From Jefferson's biography:
"...an amendment was proposed by inserting the words, 'Jesus Christ...the holy author of our religion,' which was rejected 'By a great majority in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and the Mohammedan, the Hindoo and the Infidel of every denomination.'"

That nowhere is a "right to privacy" mentioned. Everyone keeps talking about this right, but its not in the constitution anywhere.
