What does it mean when people are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights

History
1 answer:
Gnom [1K]4 years ago
6 0

"Endowed by their Creator" means "God-given" rights. In other words, our rights do not come from government or our status as humans beings (those are human rights), our rights are God-given, also known as "natural rights." The Supreme Court generally refers to them as natural rights now. "With certain unalienable rights" refers to the fact that no government, other institution, or person can take anyone's God-given/natural rights away. Nowadays people would say inalienable, unalienable is just archaic. As an example, freedom of religion is a God-given/natural right, we all have the right to believe as we choose. Also in the first amendment, the right to petition our government for a redress of grievances is a human right between the people and the government.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer: Vietnam

Explanation:

Vietnam was originally divided into two (North and South Vietnam) in an attempt by the Western powers to weaken communism in the country. This eventually led to the Vietnam War of which the U.S. was heavily involved.

Towards the end of the war and as the U.S. was pulling out, the Communists gained the upper hand and as they began to capture more territory, people began fleeing South Vietnam by boat in order to escape communism. A lot of them eventually resettled in the U.S. in the last quarter of the 20th century.
