The 2nd amendment was put into place a way for the people to stop tyranny it happens again.
The pursuit of happiness is a right, not happiness it self. Happiness is in the eye of the beholder.
And God gave us these rights. God is the all being. Some may call it nature. Some may call it evolution. No matter how God is defined, we are humans and we have changed over time. We have eradicated diseases and parasites (smallpox and Guinea worm). We have done our best to stop slavery and human trafficking (Epstein be damned!). We are growing up everyday. We as Americans do our best to help others. We may not be perfect, but we damn try to be.
My unalienable rights are spelled out in the Bill of Rights, specifically in the 9th. For those explicitly mentioned in the Bill of Rights, Like the aforementioned 2nd, the 1st gives me the right to think my professor is a doofus if I choose to think it. It gives me to right to worship God or Zeus. The 3rd makes sure I don’t have to have a soldier live with me unless I chose to love one. The 4th gives me the right to keep nosy professors from prying into my business or taking my things. The 5th allows me to stay mum. The 6th allows me to get a speedy trial and face my accusers. The 7th tells me that I can have a jury trial in a civil dispute. The 8th one stops my professor from beating my snarky ass as a punishment. The 9th says this list so far does not preclude me from other rights. The Constitution is a document of what the government can and can’t do; it is not a document of what we can and can’t do. We own the power, not the government. And the 10th so many people forget is that powers not vested to the Feds belong to the States.
As for the rest of the Constitution, amendments shave been made as we have grown as a country. Some have been wrong and some have been clarifications. The post Civil War trinity of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments were used to make sure black men were to be equal to white men. And was the use of the laws permitted by the 10th weekend that allowed the States to come up with poll and literacy tests for blacks until the 24th came along and clarifies you can’t do that, either. The 19th came along to express that the Trinity previously mention applies to women, too.
The 22nd came about to prevent us from becoming a dictatorship. As much as some people love FDR, he was the American version of a dictator. The 18th and 21st shows we saw that we Americans do like a booze and again, we correct our mistakes.
So damn straight I do I believe I have unalienable rights and American is a great county. As Lee Greenwood sings, “I am proud to be an American.”
Thank you sir (or ma'am!). I'll work some of this into my response also-- this is a better lesson than all of the lectures combined by this clown ass professor. Still floors me how this is even asked in school.
History and Civics were my favorite class in school. I had at least one professor before me to change majors. I stuck to my major and profession for the money. That professor also made us write one page essays on what we read in her class. I would write some of the silliest ones and she loved them. The sillier they were, the more she used them as examples in class. I wrote one about rest areas of the Silk Road vs. today’s rest areas. She used it as an example. I thought it was just BS when I wrote it; I wrote it to get ahead in the class on a certain assignment overall that the essays were a part of.
My favorite professor in the History Department (RIP) was a self proclaimed liberal. He was more of a classical liberal. But he had a great sense of humor and loved the fact I laughed in his class. He would have me explain to the class why I would laugh before explaining it fully to the class about what was important on the incident.
Actually the original words by Jefferson were... life, liberty, and the pursuit of property. Ben Franklin changed property to happiness. Saw this for myself in the national archives when I was 13. Property was scratched out and the word happiness inserted. The initials, B.F. were next to it. This draft version has been removed from public view. Saw this for myself when I visited again when I was 27.
Thank you! This was great and thanks for the advice at the end. I absolutely intend on meeting a based woman and having many kids. My professor is an awful commie and can't even spell "supposed" btw.
