“Inherent and inalienable rights” came out “certain unalienable rights,” and to this day no one knows who suggested the elegant change.

I always thought it was Franklin. Dunno why.

“I always thought it was Franklin. Dunno why.”

I watched a movie on TV this morning. It supposedly was a docu-drama. In it they broached this subject and that conversation was in the movie but I have forgotten who said it. ;-(

It was not Franklin but do not remember who.

Earlier today, my wife and I were reflecting on the relative youth of our nation compared to others around the world. True, by name it is one of the youngest, and by every measure the greatest.

But on further thought, it is actually one of the oldest nations that have survived and prospered under a continuously practiced form of government. Since our independence, most European nations have convulsed through revolutions, monarchies, coups, or other political upheavals; therefore they are not as old because they have not been anchored to such a moral and revered set of founding documents to guide them.

Though deeply respected, Jefferson was feared to be a bit of
a firebrand to his colleagues. As a result, the gathering
assigned Franklin and John Adams, Robert Livingston and Roger
Sherman to provide editorial advice to Jefferson. It is through
their wise counsel that we are left with the ‘pursuit of
happiness’ instead of the ‘pursuit of property’.

Jefferson got that verbatum from John Locke. It should have been kept “property”.
