There's also no-one now alive who voted for women's suffrage, or the banning of the international slave trade, or the right to bear arms.

Non-aggression and property rights are the only laws that truly matter. Natural rights stem from these principals.

> women's suffrage

If a government doesn't have a monopoly of force, nobody needs to vote or even acknowledge the government.

> banning of the international slave trade

Your body is your possession. Slavery violates that and the non-aggression principle.

> the right to bear arms

Who grants this right? The government doesn't have the right to take any property. It does so via aggression and violates natural rights.

That's certainly an assertion, but not one that I accept.

Meaning disputes with a government are settled (resisted) by ... force and violence?
