&gt; Some rights are inalienable<p>He addresses that. A right has to be granted by someone. Who grants these inalienable rights? If you answer is &quot;God&quot;, or &quot;they just are&quot;, your thinking is circular.<p>If your answer is &quot;the government&#x2F;state&quot;, you are wrong. The government&#x2F;state grants you this &quot;right&quot;, and takes it away as it pleases, so it is actually not inalienable.<p>TLDR; An inalienable right that is systematically violated is not very inalienable, is it?
