Since when?

Since when is the Constitution a document intended to specifically deny rights to people? I really don't agree with flag burning, however, I do not consider it a constitutional crisis.

As I briefly mention in an earlier post, Constitutional Amendments limiting the rights of people are always failures. The Eighteenth Amendment is, of course, the shining example. The 'three-fifths' section of Article I is an example where the Constitution itself was used to limit the rights of people. This, also, was struck down.

I used to think that Republicans were less dangerous to our freedoms than Democrats. But this second attempt to use the Constitution as a stick against the people is starting to make me think they're just as bad.
