Who gives you these inalienable rights you think you have?
They’re natural. Inherent from birth.
According the Declaration and the CFI A&P up there it's our creator. Are we acknowledging one of them today?
Yes, of course. My creator was the natural laws of this universe.
To paraphrase a great philosopher why didn't the creator start with the right to food, water and shelter?
Well, because those things have to be obtained, and you don’t have a right to what someone else has obtained. You have to do it yourself. Remember, the concept of natural rights means the rights you would have in the natural order of things outside of a given society. So you have a right to hunt and gather what is available.
So we had to amend the constitution and add some other rights that needed pointing out. Like, slavery.
As I said, the government doesn’t create natural rights, it can only violate them or protect them. In the case of slavery, the government was allowing the violation of the right of freedom.
Or women being allowed to voice their opinion by being allowed to vote. Is that an inalienable right?
No, voting is a legal right, not a natural one.
But lets not forget, that at any given point and time we can amend it again and take rights away. And if it can be amended and taken away by nothing more than popular vote then are they really inalienable in the first place? Words have meanings.
In that case, your natural rights still exist, they are merely being violated.
I think you should go read some political philosophy. The concept of natural rights dates all the way back to Ancient Greek philosophy, so you’ve got a lot of reading to do.
Adulthood is an arbitrary number.
On this we agree! The number is arbitrary, and I think it’s too young. Nevertheless, we do have a number, and your children are still not your property to do with as you please.
