This argument is just as applicable to the first amendment. Which is to say that with what we know now about the protection of civil liberties, the idea of the Bill of Rights not being individual rights is as ridiculous as the idea that only men have the right to vote.

Suggesting all of the Bill or Rights just applies to people is incorrect.

The tenth amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Is not about individual freedom, it’s about what freedom the states have and the limitation on the federal government.
