Summation of the additives, life and liberty equates to happiness.
All are entitled to pursue their own definition of happiness free from any definition that would be imposed by another individual or collective. Any imposition on one’s liberty is a similar imposition on right to life and subtractive of one’s total happiness.
One has the right to defend in whole or in part the principles of this equation that is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
This is not a right that can in any way be infringed upon , it is a fundamental law of nature. As this is not a declaration of rights but an acute observation of natural law.
Those who would be governed choose to allow those who govern to infringe on these rights to the extent that they derive some societal/collective benefit. Any individual must choose whether any subtraction of rights is justified.
Defense of natural law requires no declaration as it is writ by the laws of nature and self- evident to all, who are part of nature.
