That's the way it was introduced and presented to the states/people when the constitution was adopted. The 5th Amendment was created to help assuage any fears that a government body could use any influential policies to infringe on inalienable rights by appealing to authoritative means. Then this 'no right is absolute' crap came along and was bought wholesale via the use of a 'good crisis'. it was fun while it lasted.
