Learn to spell. Learn to use punctuation. Learn proper grammar.

Unless I'm mistaken, you're asking why it is that in a democracy, a constitution outlines the rights that are gauranteed to its people, yet the government doesn't seem to adhere to or abide by the rules. Further, when the people speak up and protest these injustices, the government refuses to listen or rectify the situation.

Is this what you mean?

If so, all I can say is if enough people cry out long enough and hard enough, change will occur. The major problem seems to be complacency and a lack of desire. We allow the government to strip us of our rights even though we know it's wrong. What our government does is push a little bit more each time on issue to see how much people will allow. Only when people stand up and demand change does this stop, and sometimes not quick enough. We also forget that the constitution spells out the fact that we are not separate from our government, we ARE the government. The people who we've elected are meant to represent our wishes, yet they continually go against the popular opinion because they think they know better than we do about what we need.

Also, when the government begins to creep into our lives this much, there is obviously a problem. The government's job is not to legislate morality, nor tell us what to think nor what to say nor how to worship (or NOT worship), etc... The government's role is simply to keep us safe from outside threats as much as possible and not to create an environment which jeopordizes that safety for selfish interests.

If those who wrote the constitution could see what the government is doing these days, they'd have a fit. This is not what was intended.

Sorry, got off on a rant.

We're not free. We're being told which way is the "right" way to live according to the people we've chosen to represent us. How is that free?

Your question is very nebulous. In other words, hard to understand. But if I get your drift correctly, I think you're asking why countries that have a constitution seem to ignore human rights. I really can't speak for other countries, but I feel the United States constitution is right on target when it comes to freedom and human rights. What you're asking does not necessarily pertain to human rights, per se, but to opinions. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but that doesn't make it a law. Human rights don't go quite that far, but everyone does have the privilege of a voice in any given matter. We do have freedom of speech, which is denied in some other countries and is even punishable in some. So be thankful that you do have the right to say whatever you want to say, to write whatever you want to write, and even have it published. A lot of people criticize the president, but they are not punished because of their opinion. If you were in Iraq or some other country, you would be beheaded for stating your opinion. So be thankful for our democracy. It may not be perfect, but it does cater to the voice of the people. And you can always say what you want without fear of reprisal.

Wow! That was a pretty rambling q, but here is your answer.

It is all about power and money.
Once the politicians get a taste of the power and money, they will do ANYTHING to keep it.

No matter what.

So, as with all governments, the rights of 'the people' go by the wayside through the ever increasing number of oppressive laws and catering to special interests.
