The first of these unalienable rights is the right to life. This means that all people deserve to have a chance at living, and at creating a life that is only theirs. This cannot be taken away without due process of the law. The importance of this right is at the forefront of many modern discussions, such as abortion and the death penalty.
The right to liberty means that the government cannot restrict your activities and your way of thinking unless it infringes on the rights of someone else. This is a right that has enormous implications, including the definition and protection of freedom of speech, freedom of association and freedom of religion.
Finally, the right to the pursuit of happiness means that everyone has the right to pursue the activities and goals that make him or her happy. This should be protected as long as the pursuit does not infringe on the liberties of others or violates the law. This is important in today's world in various respects, including our right to chose a partner, to travel freely and to chose our area of employment.
