Not All Things To All People

In Liberty and Tyranny, Page 52, Mark Levin reminds us that where the Constitution is silent, no judge or legislator can divine or invent rights that do not exist. They must find social solutions to meet their cultural needs, or amend the Constitution overtly: "And where the Constitution is silent, states and individuals need not be. The Constitution, and more particularly, the framework of government it establishes, are not intended to address every issue or answer every perceived grievance. This is not a defect but a strength, because the government was intended to be a limited one."

We want Americans to solved problems on their own, extra-governmentally.
