That is the Declaration of Independence not the US Constitution.
The US Constitution states that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, and property.

That's the Declaration of Independence, but your larger point is correct. All other rights presuppose the right to life. It's the fundamental right, and the protection of human life is the primary responsibility of government.

Ummm, no. Better re-read the document. It's not there.
