You have a limited understanding of history or the context of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. These details matter!
The Constitution was created to centralize the U.S. government because the independent states were not paying their fair share under the Confederation. This was a requirement in order to pay the debt owed to the British empire after the revolutionary war. This was specifically called out in the Peace Treaty of Paris Article 4, "It is agreed that Creditors on either Side shall meet with no lawful Impediment to the Recovery of the full Value in Sterling Money of all bona fide Debts heretofore contracted." This same thing is called out in the Constitution in Article VI, "All debts contracted and engagements entered into, before the adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation." To stop paying the debt would have violated our Peace Treaty with England and caused another war. George Washington knew this. He stated it in his correspondence with John Jay here: https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Washington/04-04-02-0199
The Declaration of Independence on the other hand, was simply a tort claim giving a reason why natural law dictates those who wanted to leave the crown should be allowed to. It basically says, humans should be able, using their own free will, determine their own political status. It is mostly taken from a much older document called the "Law of Nations" Please note, The Law of Nations is mentioned in the Constitution, Article 2, Section 8.
As I stated above, the Constitution was required to avoid a war. The definition of the word "Constitutor" in Black's Law Dictionary is, "One who, by a simple agreement, becomes responsible for the payment of another’s debt". Its real purpose is to outline the structure and operation of the U.S. Government. This structure included mechanisms for ensuring the international obligations of the U.S. were adhered to. The Bill of Rights was added to get it ratified. However, the Bill of Rights was never the primary purpose of the document. This is why they were all added as AMMENDMENTS...
Last thing I'll say on the Constitution, the Preamble is very misleading. Read it carefully. It is not what you think it is. You as a citizen are not a part of "The People." The People, and their posterity are essentially the those who stepped up and created the United States for the Unites States of America (straight out of the preamble). Notice these are two different entities. Citizens are something totally different. From Black's Law 6th Edition, Citizen, "One who, under the Constitution and laws of the United States, or of a particular state, is a member of the political community, owing allegiance and being entitled to the enjoyment of full civil rights." Notice inalienable rights are not mentioned here. Civil rights are granted. Inalienable rights are natural rights. However, we can use our free will to contract these away. Whether we know it or not. Ignorance is the ultimate enemy here.
In order to enjoy inalienable rights, a human must come out of the system and have the proper political status. It takes free will and a massive amount of responsibility to do this. Most humans simply don't have it in them. They'd rather let a government take care of the day to day international political obligations and be left alone as much as is allowed. Citizens are subjects, nothing more.
It took years of study to start to realize what's been going on from the beginning of this entire system being put in place. It took a lot of time and effort. Unfortunately, most people don't take the time to first READ anything. Second, they don't have the intelligence/critical thinking ability to really understand it.
Jeff, I've seen you state many times that Conservatives are the enemy. Conservatives have been conditioned to think Liberals are the enemy. The media does this to people. May I suggest taking a step up to a higher vantage point in an attempt to see the big picture. Divide and conquer is the oldest tactic in the book. With the attitude you are showing, I'd say your are playing right into the hands of those who rule over the citizenry.
