How the fuck do you get any of your impenetrable nonsense out of this? It says what it says and says it clearly. 

Tell me how many occurances of the word 'individual' are in the constitution.

It is not:

I, the people
Me, the People
You, the People

it is:

WE, the People.

"people" and "the people" are also two separate things.

"people" is a collection of individuals. "the people" is a collective entity.

It was contended, however, in argument, that, "though originally the first ten amendments were adopted as limitations on federal power, yet, in so far as they secure and recognize fundamental rights—common-law rights—of the man, they make them privileges and immunities of the man as a citizen of the United States, and cannot now be abridged by a state under the fourteenth amendment. In other words, while the ten amendments as limitations on power only apply to the federal government, and not to the states, yet in so far as they declare or recognize rights of persons, these rights are theirs, as citizens of the United States, and the fourteenth amendment as to such 'rights limits state power, as the ten amendments had limited federal power." It is also contended that the provision of the

1.01 State sovereignty and jurisdiction. The sovereignty
and jurisdiction of this state extend to all places within the boundaries declared in article II of the constitution, subject only to such rights of jurisdiction as have been or shall be acquired by the United States over any places therein; and the governor, and all subordinate officers of the state, shall maintain and defend its sovereignty and jurisdiction. Such sovereignty and jurisdiction are asserted and exercised over the St. Croix River from the eastern
shore thereof to the center or thread of the same, and the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state of Minnesota to authorize any person to
obstruct the navigation of said river east of the center or thread
thereof, or to enter upon the same and build piers, booms or other
fixtures, or to occupy any part of said river east of the center or
thread thereof for the purpose of sorting or holding logs, is denied;
such acts can "only" be authorized by the concurrent consent of the legislature of this state.  [Dammit forgot us again]

Actually, she does have the power to dissolve parliament if her government appears to be completely fucked up: it would be politic for her to wait for a vote of no confidence, but she isn't actually obliged to do so.
That's about the only power the monarchy actually has under our constitution. I'm surprised you don't know that, given the amount of bizarre drivel you spout about her majesty's subjects having no rights.

You know, RO, all this spam about 'we the people' shows you have a serious problem with English grammar.

I will give you a basic lesson. The subject of the sentence is the do-er. The object of the sentence is the do-ee.

Thus you have this sentence:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Now in this sentence, the subject is in italics and the object is in bold. This sentence says that people are making a constitution for a country. It does not say that the constitution is making a country for the people. Now I could see the confusion if this were in Russian or some other language that completely screws with subject/object placement, but this is pretty clear to me.
