Thomas Jefferson didn't say "I'm concerned about Sam and Henry over there... they might be in the minority on some opinion or issue in the future so I think we should draft a Bill of Rights to protect them." He probably thought, "I don't want to be screwed over by the majority. Perhaps I should draft some things to protect ME."
Because "ME" could be in the minority, whether by myself or 49.9% of the people.
Sure, they drafted rights to protect them in cases where they were minorities. Isn't that exactly what I'm saying?
I bet Jefferson didn't want to be raped. Wonder why he didn't make that an amendment? Could it have been because he figured that right could be provided in a non-constitutional setting?
