The basis for human rights are the laws of nature and god. These human rights (to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) are inalienable and indisputable. They are of nature and god because they weren't given us by one government or another, or by some other human agreement. They naturally belong to every human being, from the moment when they were born.
