You quote the opening of the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights as though the Founding Fathers stumbled upon some universal truth.

They did. That universal truth is the enumeration of individual rights of man to sanction government, or to have the power to rebel against it.
That is a truth that was long ignored, not observed, and fought against by those authoritarian powers that USED TO HOLD THE REIGNS OF EVERY NATION ON EARTH.
What stopped that reign?
The recognition of a greater good, the recognition of man as a reasonable and logical being, and recognition of that in their right to defense, privacy, speech, and as the ultimate arbiters of what government they live under.

What about before those two documents? Have you ever read the Federalist Papers and the Anti-Federalist Papers and seen what items were left out of those documents?

I have. Do you have a point?

Just because it is in America's documents doesn't make it true.

Because it is in the documents, that were agreed on by the people, and signed into law, it makes them LAW.
I don't need help knowing what is fact, and what isn't, if information exists.
