1. Do you agree, in order to preserve your own (you don't get to be a tyrant), to observe rights to life, expression and self defense?
2. Everyone answers yes. It's a socially natural agreement. These agreements serve species preservation. These agreements are pending no authority; they're part of mankind.
One, above, is self evidence. Two is inalienable (inseparable, part of us - socially, does not equal inviolable). These natural social agreements have always been violated and always will, if not by the state then individuals. They are, nonetheless, inalienable, inseparable, part of our natural social preservation of species. A government, or other authority, does not grant these rights; they are ours as human beings. The US (and all other Western constitutions) are based on this understanding and must be read in such context. The government is assigned to protect these rights, not to create them.
Someday we'll all be free to exercise these natural rights.
