Thomas Jefferson said, “[The] best principles [of our republic] secure to all its citizens a perfect equality of rights.”
Millions of immigrants have come to America to have these rights. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights give many of these rights to all people living in the United States.
These rights include the freedom of expression, of religion, of speech, and the right to bear arms. All people living in the United States also have many of the same duties as citizens, such as paying taxes and obeying the laws.
