Your Rights, the Declaration, Constitution, Government and God.

What are your rights as an American? They are spelled out in the Declaration of Independence. You have three rights. They are, "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness". These rights are unalienable, which means they cannot be taken away or transferred to another. Our constitution was designed to protect and ensure those three rights. Government is designed to carry out the edicts of the Constitution.

The role of our government is NOT to create, manage and distribute entitlements. Entitlements are NOT rights they are benefits created by legislators. Any benefit offered over time becomes accepted as a right, but they are not.

Civil rights stem from natural rights. Natural rights come from God.
