The first amendment to the bill of rights; freedom of speech, assembly, religion, and press.
This was adopted in 1791.
Ever hear of something called, "Due Process"?
Your example is now null and void.

Great argument... Except of course, the US Constitution was finalized in 1787, and the "Articles" didn't contradict the US Constitution, therefore things were added, not changed. Furthermore, #4 and #9 still apply, seeing as how they predate the Constitution.
And finally, the Constitution became the document for which the principles of the founding fathers were finalized. Good try at splitting hairs though
