According to
Thomas Jefferson and everybody who signed the Declaration of Independence, “all
men are created equal, and they are endowed by their creator with certain
unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.” There are four God given rights in that quote. 1. We are created
equal to everyone. 2. Life. 3. Liberty
or freedom. 4. The pursuit of happiness; we can be happy. It also states that
there are “certain unalienable rights, that among
these…” So there are more rights that it doesn’t list there.
John Locke
basically says in the 2nd Treatise of Government that the government
has no purpose unless they protect your life, health, liberty, or property.
So my God given
rights, according to John Locke, Thomas Jefferson, and fifty-four other signers
of the Declaration including Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, my God given
rights are my life, liberty, property, equality, health, and happiness.
thank you so much
