"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... It does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... It is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government." "Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual)."
