Preamble
We, the people of the State of Florida, being grateful to Almighty God for our constitutional liberty, in order to secure its benefits, perfect our government, insure domestic tranquility, maintain public order, and guarantee equal civil and political rights to all, do ordain and establish this constitution.
Article One
Section Two
Basic rights.--All natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law and have inalienable rights, among which are the right to enjoy and defend life and liberty, to pursue happiness, to be rewarded for industry, and to acquire, possess and protect property; except that the ownership, inheritance, disposition and possession of real property by aliens ineligible for citizenship may be regulated or prohibited by law. No person shall be deprived of any right because of race, religion, national origin, or physical disability.
This woman had the right to defend herself and no person deprived her because of her physical disability. She could have reached for a fork any time she wanted.
and to acquire, possess and protect property; except that the ownership, inheritance, disposition and possession of real property by aliens ineligible for citizenship may be regulated or prohibited by law ...
Seems that the law found the parents tried to usurp the hubbie's rights.
Are you saying that other statutory or common law rules are rendered unenforceable to the extent that they affect or govern the enumerated "basic rights" (i.e., "to enjoy and defend life and liberty, to pursue happiness, to be rewarded for industry, and to acquire, possess and protect property")?
