“Broadly speaking, in the United States, that would be life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness if you wish to go with Jefferson or life, liberty and property if you like the 14th Amendment. Both mean the same thing: property, happiness, wealth, earnings, savings, love, inheritance, intellect, ideas, concepts, goals , your favorite skate board, your soul. More explicitly; the 26 inalienable rights in the Bill of Rights and the 6 additional citizenship and voting rights in the subsequent Amendments.

Every person has these rights because our governance confirms what we all know to be true; we have them because they come from our Creator (or whatever deity you like or just from your own conscious mind) and not from any man or government and cannot be taken away because they are eternal and belong to no one but you.

It is the nature and the important weight of these rights that sets them apart from other concepts of desirability, hopefulness, sincerity and convenience that would be nice to have if there were a way to get them without depriving others of something for them. And no matter how desirable they may seem to be, they can be taken away if the resources for gaining them are simply not there.

The big 3 in the first paragraph and the 32 enumerated are not just inalienable and yours, they are truly free and come with nothing but your determination of hang on to them. They come for free, as long as you have freedom.”
