Answer: Rights that cannot be taken away

Explanation: The Declaration of Independence is made on the basis of the Enlightenment ideas, and as such is based on the natural rights of people and these rights are innate, meaning that people are born with them and cannot be taken away. The rights that people are born with should not be questioned under any circumstances, and the Declaration, with its content, has just guaranteed it.
