Why not let the people decide the issue? And essentially, the government is everyone's "master". They have the power, they dictate what happens.

If the people have a need to empower the governmental body to determine whether rights exist according to exact wording of the constitution, again you'd better have them rewrite it and spell out exactly what it is a person can and cannot do.
I'll ask the question again, when did we start looking at the constitution as a document that restricts the people instead of the government?

Why must it be one or the other? The Constitution restricts people's rights, and restricts what the government can do.
