The Bill of Rights contains many loopholes government can use in order to restrict rights.

Answer 1

The Constitution itself without its amendments contains no protections for individual rights. The amendments holds the bill of rights for the people. Their right to freedom of speech, protect one’s self, privacy, respect and other objectifying and “common sense” foundations. Without the amendments or the bill of rights, what is there to individuals to protect? The government stands because it is for, of and about the people in simpler terms. It exists to systematize and maximize peace and order but in a limiting and legalized manner, it can be executed.
