"The primary right all humans were endowed with by their creator is the right to life. Obviously, without life, none of the other rights matter."

You won't find it in the Constitution, though. In that document, which delineates the powers that Fedgov might exercise, quite a few life-and-death powers were reserved the the states.

But since all other rights rely on the right to life, I believe it should be. I'm sure our framers never imagined that the right to life wouldn't be inherent and understood by all.
