The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Right to be treated innocent until proven guilty
Right to a Fair Trial
Right to a Jury of Your Peers
Right to Vote
Right to Travel
Right to Marriage (including homosexual and interracial but also heterosexual same-race)
Right to Privacy
Right to interrupt pregnancy (it was considered a constitutional right until a couple of month ago)
All of these rights have been, in one way or another, have been recognized as constitutionally protected by the supreme court and yes, they have reversed their opinion in the last case, even AGAINST THE OPINION OF THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE.
unless of course you haven't been following the most talked about decision in decades.
on the tax issue, the states are free to tax or not tax. the federal govt has its own tax and the constitution requires citizens to pay said taxes. but you go ahead and try to not pay taxes. let us know how that works out for you.
But let me give you a less hypothetical example: 80% of the people, including well above 50% of Republicans, want more gun controls including a rise in age, delayed and universal background checks, and other measures. But the NRA is too powerful and an important source of political funding.
the electoral college was put in place to protect the money class from the working class.
