Who does the US BILL of RIGHTS apply to?

The dark lord respects your agency and determination to live an ethical and moral existence.

Dark lord must have me confused with someone else. Possibly @Dan Gleesak.

Worded as "all persons living in the US" ohhhh what a mistake they made with that

i think the wording was meant to include all persons because at the time, except for the indians, none of them were US born citizens they were British by birth

not fucking Mexicans, commies and students who come here to get educated and hate us

Well they say it’s a living document and should change with the times.

Fourteenth Amendment
Section 1
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

OP mentioned 27 amendments in the title so maybe they dont know the BoR is only the first 10. Anyway, you can't just exclude amendments when talking about what rights people have. They all count.

Amendments do. Not sure about ammendments.

See post #3. I addressed that. The OP acknowleged it. And you can exclude the rest of the Amendments if it's the Bill of Rights we are discussing.
Keep up, troll.

I'm not trolling. I just disagree with some of the arguments being made. As far as the BoR, I don't know how anyone can argue about them while excluding the 14th Amendment. It's explicit in expanding rights with regards to Due Process and Equal Protection. The BoR itself excluded slaves at the time of its inception, for example. The 13th and 14th are needed to understand who gets what rights. If I'm wrong about that then show me why.

I don't even know what point/argument you're trying to make as it applies to the OP.

Because we are talking about The Bill of Rights.
If the OP wants to change the question to The Constitution, then you can proceed with your discussion.
Until then, keep up, troll.

No, within the jurisdiction means that US laws and rights apply to that person. That is independent of legal status and that is well established through the courts. It's the reason I can't go out and murder an illegal immigrant because that would be a criminal violation of their right to life. The only way that happens is if that person is subject to the jurisdiction of US law.

You seem to think I'm giving a legal interpretation here and I'm not. It's already been made long ago.

This is what I learned in junior-high Civics. Is Civics even taught anymore?

Now the question is, were the Bill of Rights supposed to refect the 10 commandments?
