Go to the USC. How else do you propose we determine those rights held by the people, or the states respectively?

The constitution does not grant rights. Some of them are enumerated there. I know I have told you this before. And the constitution recognises that fact in the ninth amendment.

Rights come from God. (or just exist naturally for people who can't concieve of God) Anything that doesn't violate rights of others, is a right. And as Seth said: "Some things are true even if you don't believe them." You choose not to believe, but it doesn't matter.

You are confused (as usual) about rights and powers, and now are trying to change the subject to a discussion of the division of powers between the states and the federal government. It won't wash.
