But when the subject changes to individual, real persons who are U.S. Citizens, they retain all rights not granted to the Federal government by the Constitution and State governments by their respective Constitutions.

Originally yes, but that may no longer be the case.

"... the term `citizen' in the United States, is analogous to the term `subject' in the common law; the change of phrase has resulted from the change in government."
State v. Manuel, 20 N.C. 122

Right, that’s just sayin’ if you’re reading something from common law and applying it to a U.S. case, every place you see the word subject you replace it with the word citizen, cuz that’s what the United States calls it’s people.
