“the rights existed long before the govt.”

Are you saying that the inhabitants of the Americas had “...the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed...” before Columbus arrived in the Americas? Before the Americas were known as the Americas?

Are you saying that the Jews who wandered in the desert for 40 years, led by Moses, had “...the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed...”?

Are you saying that the people who built Stonehenge 4-5 thousand years ago had “...the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed...”?

if you believe in the US Constitution ... yes

the rights existed... they were just denied / repressed by the govt at the time. this would also be true today in other countries

again... if you believe in the Constitution... which doesn’t sound like you do
