Our rights did not arise out of oppression. I'd suggest you read some history. What is in the first 10 amendments sprang from abuses of the English monarchs. The guarantee of religious freedom is obvious- -many of the American colonists were religious refugees. Amendment III No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law. was a practice of the British in the colonies- -forcing people to provide housing and board for British soldiers for free. The fifth amendment guarantee against self-incrimination was a protection against the British abuse of demanding confessions to avoid torture or getting confessions by torture. Amendment VIII Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. contains a variant of that guarantee. From another section of the Constitution, Section. 9. Clause 3: No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed. The legal language used, such as "bill of attainder" and "ex post facto law", are terms used in English jurisprudence. The Declaration of Independence makes direct references to abuses by the English.
