The Protections of Liberty
Individual liberty is still a primary right and some aspects are more precisely defined than in Declaration of 1789. The declaration explicitly states the freedom of religion, of assembly and of the press (article 7), of commerce (article 17), of petition (article 32). Slavery is probited by article 10 which states "Every man can contract his services and his time, but he cannot sell himself nor be sold: his person is not an alienable property."
