Rights

This post would consider what an "unalienable right" could possibly be, if one of those enumerated, the right to life, can be summarily removed, either by executive order in particular, or by the maintenance of the death penalty in general.

"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."
