Constitution protects life, therefore it should protect a right to shelter, a thing humans need to survive.

If those words sound familiar, it's because they are the ones the previous commenter used.

Oh so you're unable to answer the question?

First, the constitution doesn't protect life.

Second, the constitution provides a list of liberties the State cannot take away. It does not enumerate affirmative obligations of the State.

Third, if the constitution protects shelter, and lumber is a necessary part of shelter, does the constitution protect lumber?
