Right to bear arms

Currently, there is a split in opinion among legal scholars as to whether the Bill of Rights is the source of specific rights or simply guarantees that said rights will not be violated. This may sound like a distinction without a difference. However, very few documents of import, such as the Bill of Rights, emerge from a vacuum, without precedent or wholly independent from history. In other words, the rights codified within the Bill of Rights are arguably inalienable rights which a person acquires at birth. Historically speaking, it is then that a government, or other power hungry organization which has reached critical mass, suppresses said rights in an ominous form of self-preservation.

No, the right for women to vote is not explicitly guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.
