Inalienable rights are rights that cannot be taken away from a person and are often associated with natural rights. Many countries have constitutions that outline these rights, such as “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” In the US, these rights were influenced by John Locke’s views on natural rights, but Thomas Jefferson chose to emphasize the pursuit of happiness over property. Inalienable rights are established by a country’s laws but are considered the rights of all people. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights establishes inalienable rights for all humanity.
Inalienable rights are rights that a person is deemed to have, which he or she cannot assign or assign, and which cannot be legally taken away from him or her. These rights are often regarded as equal to the natural rights a person is born with, and these terms have often been associated in modern usage. Various rights are often regarded as inalienable, and many different countries have constitutions or other legal documents that indicate the nature of those rights for the people of that country. Inalienable rights in modern usage often derive from European and American political philosophies dealing with human rights and the American Revolution.
Also called inalienable rights, inalienable rights are often referred to through a tripartite motto or phrase made up of three terms that are interconnected and describe a unifying concept. Perhaps the most famous example, certainly in the United States, of this concept is the description of such rights in the United States Declaration of Independence as the rights of “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Other countries have adopted similar mottos which consist of similar concepts such as the motto of the French Republic of “liberté, égalité, fraternité” or “freedom, equality, fraternity”. The American view of inalienable rights comes from the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson.
Jefferson’s use of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” was probably influenced by the work of John Locke and his view of natural rights, similar to inalienable rights, of life, liberty, and property. In writing the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson chose to avoid the importance Locke placed on property, and instead was influenced by other political commentators who viewed the “pursuit of happiness” as a more worthy goal. Many early American political philosophers viewed ownership of property as a right granted by the state and not granted at birth. The importance of these inalienable rights in the United States and many other countries is that these rights cannot be revoked without due process of law.
Inalienable rights are typically established by the laws of a country, although on a purely philosophical level they are considered the rights of all people. This often leads to conflicts between countries with different political systems, as citizens of one nation may regard certain rights as inalienable, while another country’s legal system may not. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights establishes inalienable rights for all humanity such as “life, liberty and security of the person”. Of course, it is up to individual nations to agree which rights are inalienable and to protect them accordingly.
