>Rights don't come from paper! Obviously however having them noted on paper is meaningful, relevant and extremely required. If not you get the sovereign citizen faggots who will simply make up rights - as they already do - as they see fit and it's impossible at that point to argue against them as there's no standing "agreement" (it's not really an agreement but I can't think of a better word) on what rights there are. It's why these things, as you pointed out, followed through hundreds of years over many "constitution" type documents. All of what you listed are based on the base idea of common law and were fought for to enshrine and have withstood time.
