Look at the 4th and 9th amendments then tell me there is no right to privacy. The constitution doesn't give Americans rights, it limits our government, and nowhere does the constitution give government the right to spy on its citizens.

I know what the Constitution says, but I'm sorry if I'm not one of those "living, breathing" Consitution types, where it constantly changes.

Please tell me where in the Constitution it says people are not free to criticize society? You and others on this thread seem to think simply expressing opinion is an unconstitutional act and has to be stamped out.

The constitution does explicitly guarantee the continuation of some rights that the framers thought might be threatened. Some of those rights weren't protected or observed under the British system so you could argue they were "given" by the constitution. But I get your point.
