Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” is a well-known phrase from the United States Declaration of Independence. The phrase gives three examples of the unalienable rights which the Declaration says have been given to all humans by their Creator, and which governments are created to protect.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unalienable rights are universal and nontransferable. They are pre-political in the sense that they are not created by persons or society but rather set standards for politics.

Detailed explanation-3: -They are (in order) freedom of religion, speech, press, the right to “peaceably” assemble, and the right to “petition the government for a redress of grievances. ‘’ All five freedoms were disrupted in some way during and after the lockdowns, protests, and campaigning following the 2020 pandemic.

Detailed explanation-4: -The meaning of the term “unalienable Rights.” The Declaration of Independence states “all Men are … endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.” What does “unalienable Rights” mean? (In the final draft edited by Congress, the word “inalienable” was inadvertently changed to “unalienable” by a copyist.)
