Since these rights are inalienable, they don't come from the government, therefore cannot be limited to the governments jurisdiction. They come from God, and are limited to HIS domain.

Sorry but you are referrin to the Declaration of Independence not the Consgtitution or the Bill of Rights.

Who bestowed the rights innumerated in the Bill of Rights? Do we have those rights because they are given to us by the government, or do we have them because they belong to us naturally?

[freedomcrusader]

He's referring to a universal truth as stated in the Declaration of Independence. Government's round the world violate and infringe these rights routinely, but that doesn't mean that ALL humans don't have these rights.

agree you are correct as to the document, but the intent is also in the BOR.
