Answer:

Rights which belong to everyone

Rights which cannot to be taken away under any circumstances

Step-by-step explanation:

Thomas Jefferson uttered these words to convey that rights such life, liberty and the pursue of happiness cannot be surrendered or transferred to anybody, and they cannot be taken away or denied under any circumstances because they are rights that righteously belong to the individual, to the people.
