A portion of the 14th amendment to the US Constitution:

Once you accept masks and other BS, will you hand over your guns when they declare another "state of emergency".
What are the limits of a state of emergency? Answer: the US Constitution.

See the bolded underlined thing in the quote you quoted? Life, liberty. The government cannot deprive anyone of either of those things without due process.
And so - if the general population is at risk of losing their life (to the virus) or liberty (to having to be isolated as a result of the virus) then - it is their duty to do what they can to prevent that risk of loss.
Mandating masks can reduce that risk of loss.
My life and liberty is more important than your freedom to uncover your face.
