When the Framers wrote “securing the blessings of liberty,” it was referring to the freedom to criticize the government or petition it when they disagreed with its policies, in other words it meant our government will make good decisions so that we have the good things about freedom and the future generations have freedom and right as well. Once the constitution was ratified the Bill of Rights were the ten amendments to the constitution that offered numerous limitations on the national government's ability to interfere with personal liberties, now there are 27 amendments.…

The “unalienable rights” that Jefferson cites as being endowed by our creator are life,liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

These unalienable rights include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; which is stated in the Declaration of Independence. (“ We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”) Today, people are still trying to decipher what the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence is truly trying to say.

In exact words, he states, " We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."

I am convinced, Jefferson's revolutionary vision of life, liberty, and happiness has at last been achieved in America.…

Well, here is your chance to find out in the next paragraph! To me, unalienable rights are rights that are given to the people, through the government.…
"The Walking Dead" has become a cultural phenomena with hordes of fans and a huge online following, but more can be gleaned from this literal horror show than pure entertainment. The show gives the audience a possible scenario for what life would become in a situation in which survival is the number one goal. There are no more 9 to 5 jobs, mortgages are no longer a concern, and passing that math exam in second period is never going to happen, so that leaves finding food, shelter, and simply living to see another day.…

Citizenship is the fiber that unites all Americans. We are a nation connected not by race or religion, but by shared values of freedom, liberty, and equality. What does that exactly mean to the average American citizen? It means that many of us, including myself, have not only expressed several of our rights such as freedom to express ourselves, freedom to worship as we wish, voting in elections, serving on a jury or purchasing or owning a firearm but we aspire to protect those rights.…
