IMO the use of "people" rather than "citizens" in our founding documents indicate that such rights are universal to ALL people, not just US citizens. |
Granted that right to bear arms or election of head may not be applicable but I do think that equality and the protection by police would all be applicable.
Otherwise if our laws of rights are inapplicable then would one say that our laws to prosecute are inapplicable? It's not a one way street.
