	Unalienable Rights Defined
		The right to pursue them, without let or hinderance, except that which is applied to all persons of the same age, sex, and condition, is a distinguishing privilege of citizens of the United States, and an essential element of that freedom which they claim as their birthright.
		He held these rights, not for his own benefit, but for the benefit of his subjects at large, who were entitled to the free use of the sea, and all tide waters, for the purposes of navigation, fishing, etc., subject to such regulations and restrictions as the crown or the Parliament might prescribe.
		The right to navigate the public waters of the state and to fish therein, and the right to use the public highways, are all public rights belonging to the people at large.

	Atheism and Unalienable Rights
		Skeptics want to deny that rights come from God, but if they are correct, then there is no sound philosophical footings undergirding their perpetual claim to any rights.
		That's true, but if individuals didn't have unalienable rights to begin with, there would be nothing negotiable to concede to the state in order to empower their rightful duty to govern.
		Either humanity and the animal kingdom both have the same rights by the reckoning of fiat, or neither have rights since such are not a necessary by-product of naturalism (that the universe is matter in motion and nothing more).

	RIGHTS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Rights are defined generally as "powers of free action." And the primal rights pertaining to men are enjoyed by human beings purely as such, being grounded in personality, and existing antecedently to their recognition by positive law.
		Rights may be described as perfect or imperfect, according as their action or scope is clear, settled, and determinate, or is vague and unfixed.
		Rights which are not capable of being surrendered or transferred without the consent of the one possessing such rights; e.g., freedom of speech or religion, due process, and equal protection of the laws.

	Principle 3. Unalienable Rights From God
		There is a duty, or responsibility, to God as the giver of these unalienable rights: a moral duty--to keep secure and use soundly these gifts, with due respect for the equal rights of others and for the right of Posterity to their just heritage of liberty.
		This right to be let alone is the most comprehensive of rights and the right of most prized by civilized men.
		Man's unalienable rights are sacred for the same reason that they are unalienable--because of their Divine origin, according to the traditional American philosophy.

	Unalienable Rights
		The absolute rights of individuals may be resolved into the right of personal security, the right of personal liberty, and the right to acquire and enjoy property.
		By the "absolute rights" of individuals is meant those which are so in their primary and strictest sense, such as would belong to their persons merely in a state of nature, and which every man is entitled to enjoy, whether out of society or in it.
		These are what are termed the "absolute rights" of individuals, which belong to them independently of all government, and which all governments which derive their power from the consent of the governed were instituted to protect.

	Inalienable rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term inalienable rights (or unalienable rights) refers to a set of human rights that are said to be absolute, not awarded by human power, not transferable to another power, and incapable of repudiation.
		An alternative argument claims that the idea of inalienable rights is derived from the freeborn rights claimed by the Englishman John Lilburne in his conflict with both the monarchy of King Charles I and the military dictatorship of the republic governed by Oliver Cromwell.
		The concept of inalienable rights was criticized by Jeremy Bentham and Edmund Burke as groundless.

	Human Rights Watch World Report 2003: United States: United States
		Human Rights Watch documented the mistreatment of non-citizens swept up in the September 11 investigation, including: custodial interrogations without access to counsel, prolonged detention without charges, overriding judicial orders to release detainees on bond during immigration proceedings, and the unnecessarily restrictive conditions--including solitary confinement--under which some "special interest" detainees were confined.
		In July, a judge had ruled the right to due process was violated because the increasing number of exonerations of death row inmates through DNA and other evidence made the death penalty "tantamount to foreseeable, state-sponsored murder of innocent human beings." Federal prosecutors appealed the decision.
		As in past years, federal civil rights prosecutions of accused officers were rare due to inadequate resources, insufficient efforts to collect and review cases, and the evidentiary hurdle of having to prove a "specific intent" by the defendant to deprive the victim of his or her civil rights.

		We claim the inherent and individual right to keep and bear arms, as guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment, is fundamental to safeguard life, liberty, and property, to discourage and defend against tyranny, and to preserve the security and independence of person, state and nation.
		We deem it a violation of the right of private property guaranteed under the Constitution for government to forcibly deprive citizens of their property through taxation or otherwise.

		Unalienable rights are far superior to civil rights, and Americans would be wise to jealously guard their unalienable rights, rather than worry so much about civil rights.
		Unalienable rights are the "standard" and "the mark to shoot for," and if the concept of freedom is being upheld properly by American civil government, then these rights will all prove to be the same.
		Unalienable rights, when properly applied by government to all of society, are adequate to protect all of the citizen's God-given freedoms.

		The Declaration's second self-evident truth follows from and explains the principle of equality: human beings are born with unalienable rights.
		A right is a claim that a person may rightfully make against someone who would deprive him of what is his own.

	Steven Cord / Unalienable Rights
		If we have the right to be free, then we have the right to exert ourselves to satisfy our material desires -- i.e., we have the right to our labor, and what our labor can produce.
		If individuals have rights, then it is the dutyof government to defend those rights; no other agency can be as effective in doing so.
		"Rights and duties can conflict; certainly we should lie to save a fife." We certainly should, because a life is more important than a lie; the right to life takes precedence over the duty to tell the truth (i.e., to treat reality as it is).

		Attacks on constitutionally protected rights have accelerated in the past fifty years and are now a normally accepted practice in the halls of congress, in the Oval Office, and in the Supreme Court.
		The constitution is not the source of American rights, it is a specific, direct guarantee of our rights and a limitation of the government's ability to infringe upon or limit those rights.
		The War on our unalienable rights is a War on the Constitution, the same constitution that every elected official, every judge, every bureaucrat is sworn to uphold and defend.

		We affirm that life begins at conception, and that the fetus is a human being with the same unalienable rights as all mankind.
		We oppose legislation that allows the federal government to suspend our God-given Rights or that prevents the people from suing government agents for violating citizens' civil or fundamental rights during times of war, national disasters, national emergencies, or declarations of martial law, etc. We favor the repeal of the 1933 War Powers and Emergencies Act.

		Therefore, the dearth of commentary on unalienable rights in the assisted-suicide context is surprising.
		The 1780 redraft written by John Adams, with assistance from Samuel Adams and James Bowdoin, asserted that all persons "have certain natural, essential, and unalienable rights; among which may be reckoned the right of enjoying and defending their lives." This language survives as part of the oldest continuously operating constitution in the world.
		An inviolable right is one that cannot ever be justly violated, while an inalienable right cannot ever be given away.

	John Locke Foundation \| John Locke: His American and Carolinian Legacy
		It was Thomas Jefferson's passionate belief in these ideals that made him base the powers of government on "unalienable rights." Most of his Declaration of Independence is a bill of particulars in an indictment of King George III for his failure to keep the contract with his American subjects.
		The human right in property was meant by Locke and understood by the Framers of the Constitution to be the fundamental liberty.
		Equally compelling on legal grounds is that "unalienable rights" is still in the Declaration of Independence, and "inalienable rights" is in the North Carolina Constitution.

	NLA Review Spring 1997 - AMERICA'S CHOICE: PART II
		Thus the failure of the government to protect these "unalienable rights" is sufficient cause for the People to alter or to abolish the Form of Government and to institute a new Form of Government.
		If the people in America are possessed with individual unalienable "rights" which are to be acknowledged and honored by the government, then the government does not have the "power" or the "authority" to destroy those "rights." Its power is limited in that regard.
		The answer as to the identity of those "self evident" truths and " unalienable Rights," the existence of which all officeholders are to acknowledge and honor, is found, in part, in the wording of the Declaration.

		Each person also had the UNALIENABLE RIGHT to use what means were available to him, including, but not limited to, military arms, to protect and insure his life and property against any criminal assault, be the criminal another human being, corporation or...government entity.

	Bush & Scalia: "You want privacy rights? Pass a law!" -- A BuzzFlash Guest Contribution
		But in the minds of the Founders, we are born with rights by the simple fact of existence, as identified by John Locke and others in the 1600s, and written by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
		Although the purpose of the Constitution wasn't to grant rights to people, Jefferson felt it was necessary to be unambiguous about the reality that humans are the holders of rights, and that in no way was the new government of the United States to ever infringe on those rights.
		Human rights may be well known to those writing the Constitution, they may all agree that governments may not infringe on human rights, but, nonetheless, we must not trust that simply inferring this truth is enough for future generations who have not so carefully read history or who may foolishly elect leaders inclined toward tyranny.

		If some tyranical government foists parental rights (which are non-existent under their form of government) in order to obtain custody of the boy, you can bet that they do not have the unalienable rights of the boy at heart.

		If a government eliminates the right to vote on the grounds that the good of society requires it, (the only grounds ever used), that society ceases to be free.
		For that reason, the Declaration of Independence prefaces its statement about unalienable rights by asserting that, "all men are created equal." The Founders knew that equality means that no one has the right to infringe on the rights of others.
		Turning from the American conception of rights to that of the communist world...Marx also rejected the doctrine of natural rights on a variety of grounds...Marx identified individualism with egoism; the tendency to think in communal or collectivist terms he equated with altruism.
