86. "the people"
"The people" are "individuals" in the 1st, 4th, 9th and 10th Amendments. That's also the case in the 2nd. When the framers said "the people", they meant "the people", from the "collective" even down to as small an entity as the "individual" citizen.

"The people" have the right to peaceably assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances, whether that be a collection of many people or just one individual.

"The people" have the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures...., whether that be a collection of many people or just one individual.

And so on.............

-----------------------------

A "Thanx" out to IMModerate for documenting the courts cases establishing the individual and the 2nd Amendment and discrediting those who have foolishly decided to deny their fellow citizens their Constitution rights because of their own personal agendas and selfish desires.
