I haven't got time right now -- not being dismissive, I literally don't have the time to respond to all of this till about tomorrow -- but I think I might be able to find some well-written (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_of_rights) laws (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Us_constitution) for ya. And, yes, a number of them are practically always up for dispute, which brings us back to hair-splitting and attempts to get things The Way You Want Them To Be. But, really, they're pretty darn clear and straightforward.
