Detailed explanation-1: -Remember that the pursuit of happiness, in the Declaration, is not a quest or a pastime, but “an unalienable right.” Everyone has the right to actuallybe happy, not just try to be happy. To use a metaphor: You don’t just get the chance to make the baseball team, you are guaranteed a spot.
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: -"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-4: -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.
