...Actually I do discuss negative rights [though tangentially]; I just don’t use the term as such.
Look around the word forms of “delineate.”

You wrote: "...and limits the authority of the position to some specifically delineated section.

This is grossly incorrect. Negative rights are not a "section" of the Constitution - they are the fundamental orientation of ALL power in it. If anything, designated powers are a "delineated section" of fundamental negative rights, lthough that would be a terrifically clumsy way of putting it.

You don't know what you're talking about.
