Every individual has natural rights (natural as in "not artificial" and derived from nature).
The Constitution does not bestow rights upon people; rights are neither granted nor taken away.
The Constitution outlines the structure of the federal government and explicitly states what it can and, in some cases, can't do. The Constitution does not apply to people, but dictates how the federal gvmt must act in regard to the individual. Everyone on Earth has the same rights that are (allegedly) protected by the Constitution, regardless of whether they are a resident or a "US citizen", and regardless of their geographic location (or, “jurisdiction”). Everyone.
In fact, Article III, Section 2, clause 1 states:
“1: The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;—to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;—to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;—to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;—to Controversies between two or more States;—between a State and Citizens of another State;10 —between Citizens of different States, —between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects”
as modified by Amendment 11: “The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.”
