Most likely to be published later this summer of 2022, my 12th book entitled appropriately; Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover a slightly modified yet appropriate version of the 10th and 11th books...
All other rights as billed or listed among various governmental constitutions, political documents and international declarations are either redundantly unnecessary, thus compound and complex the argument if enumerated, or more likely disrespect and disregard the Singular Human Right therefore violent towards the individual. To historically affirm, consider Federalist Paper No. 84, originally published during the summer of 1788 by The Independent Journal, New York Packet and The Daily Advertiser under the pseudonym Publius, otherwise known as Alexander Hamilton, hence the following excerpt…
I go further, and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and to the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed Constitution, but would even be dangerous. They would contain various exceptions to powers not granted; and, on this very account, would afford a colorable pretext to claim more than were granted. For why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do? Why, for instance, should it be said that the liberty of the press shall not be restrained, when no power is given by which restrictions may be imposed? I will not contend that such a provision would confer a regulating power; but it is evident that it would furnish, to men disposed to usurp, a plausible pretense for claiming that power.
Generally this poet ideologically despises Alexander Hamilton, although his insight expressed in Federalist Paper No. 84 is not only noteworthy among other such papers but quite logically prophetic as well. History demonstrates time and time again the predicted abuse by the U.S. government as covetously, presumptuously, arrogantly thus violently continued to this day.

Ten enumerations honored, revered, still circumvented
As the Founding Framers and Schemers perhaps intended
Syntax bended, parallax presented; a logical suspicion
Yet anagogical the promulgation for Statism’s
veneration
O Publius, the one gem deterred, not thy alter-whims
Consolidating schemes upon themes of federalist vim
Yet rightly dividing as unnecessary even dangerous
Rights enumerated, hence allowing purposes devious
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
