Bourgeois pigs kill suicidal 16 year old boy.

It is the only part of the US constitution referring to a guarantee of life. If you believe this is taken out of context, then what do you mean when you talk about life being a constitutional guarantee? It's either in the 14th, or it's not in the constitution.

The US constitution is and was always viewed as a federal addition to States constitutions.

For example, Virginia in 1776, had; "Article I. That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety."

Those things not defined federally are the responsibility of the States.
