In a more pragmatic sense, it's this effect: Every person has a combination of the capability to fight (primarily men) and an influence towards people who can fight (which is rather the case for women). The reason why Democracy - to some degree - is valid is because in general more people beat less people.
Property is a concept we naturally recognize, and that also applies to animals. They understand concepts of ownership, theft and territory. Property can be understood even encompassing health and life (you own your body).
The reason why you can't simply infringe on other people's rights is because they will defend their rights. If you want to achieve any level of peace, society has to acknowledge these rights mutually. And because people (and animals) by default defend their rights, and they have natural, reasonable, ethical reasons to do so, and because it's embedded in our natural interactions with reality, as it is also arguably necessary to operate in reality in the first place (owning the food, keeping yourself alive), these rights are acknowledged (not granted) by the constitution as inalienable.
Infringing upon them means forcing people to overgo their natural instincts just as well as common sense (like self-defence). No authority is required in order to ensure them - if anything, authority is what infringes upon them the most.
