The Rights Bearer

One of the ways Americans commonly celebrated their own uniqueness was by simply pointing to the broad range of individual rights. These rights were in trying not just in the Bill of Rights but in the many state constitutions that were framed and reframed throughout this period. The rights were often imagined as sort of immunities against government interference so there's a strongly kind of anti governmental aspect to this mythology I've been America government leaves you alone, and you enjoy this wide slate of of personal liberties.
