By us, or more precisely by human value-judgment, which is a product of human nature, which has been determined by human evolution. Less abstractly, your human rights are entitled to you by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

All very nice but the principle upon which this nation is founded is quite different and that principle is that rights are inalienable and granted by God, not the state, not human nature and certainly not any Universal Declaration.
And moreover that principle is not a historical principle but it is one that should be taught in civics classes.

In other words, man invented the descriptions and titles to 'human rights', and then entitled them himself .... as a consequence of the process of evolution. Have I got it?
