Question

The Declaration of Independence states all people have certain unalienable rights. What do certain unalienable rights mean? *

Answer 1

Certain unalienable rights mean certain right can never be taken away.

Option D

Explanation:

Unalienable rights are the rights that are given to a person as a birthright. These rights cannot be denied by any means nor can the individual give them up by choice.

In the drafts of The Declaration of Independence, many drafts mention passages about how the 'Creator' has given undeniable rights to all individuals. One such right as mentioned in the drafts is 'the liberty to life and enjoying it'. The passage further explains that these rights cannot be given up by us nor denied to us as they are a part of us. They help in defining the person that we become through the course of our life.
