I recall something about “inalienable rights”, not “citizens’ rights”.

Yes, the Declaration of Independence describes universal rights as an explanation for why we were ending our association with Britain. But the Constitution is document of laws outlining the fundamental structure of a national government. What nation would that be?

Obviously we can’t enforce inalienable rights for those outside our borders, but methinks those within our borders should enjoy those rights. How else can we respect “inalienable rights endowed by our Creator”?
