“In general, the first ten amendments, known collectively as the Bill of Rights, offer specific protections of individual liberty and justice and place restrictions on the powers of government.” Wikipedia.

‘The scope of the Constitution is twofold. First, "to form a more perfect Union" than had previously existed in the "perpetual Union" of the Articles of Confederation. Second, to "secure the blessings of liberty",’ Wikipedia.

You would think that the idea of ‘the blessings of liberty’, if they mean anything should apply to all people. So shouldn’t the spirit of the 1st and 2nd amendment apply to all people of the world?

If one goes back to the natural rights from which authority is promulgated, then it appears 'the blessings of liberty' belong to those who have agreed to the social contract. That would be signified by a person agreeing to keep the laws of the USA while they are here, and would still be entitled to a firearm for self defense, and to assemble in public protest.

That's a little ironic, as one common criticism of natural rights is that we are never given a choice whether to accept the social contract into which we are born. On the other hand, people who visit the USA are explicitly given a checkbox "Do you agree to abide by the laws of the USA while you are here?"

Nor do you get citizenship merely by agreeing to the laws of the USA, you have to be accepted.

Yes, then you have to swear an oath out loud too, but the oath is to allegiance. You don't have to agree the rules are right if you are just entering the country as a visitor. You only have to agree to obey them. But that should be enough to provide benefits of the social contract, shouldn't it?
