By "technically" you mean those exact words are not in it. The concept is clearly established in the Constitution as Thomas Jefferson noted. Just for fun...here are some other little things that are NOT in the Constitution...does this also mean they do not exist in the the US? Innocent until Proven Guilty The Right to a Fair Trial The Right to Remain Silent The Right to have Legal Counsel appointed if you can not afford one Right to a Jury of Your Peers The Right to Vote The Right to Judicial Review The Right to Marriage The Right to Privacy The Right to a Free and Appropriate Public Education. Wow...this is awesome...if we look only for specific words in the Constitution, we can throw almost ALL our rights.
