The United States Constitution guarantees certain rights--the right to free speech, the right of free association, the right to worship in the way you want, etc.
These are different than the "inalienable rights" discussed in the Declaration of Independence, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
As discussed in class, we don't all define those rights in the same way and that leaves us with the question, do human beings have any inalienable rights?
In the Social Justice video (http://animoto.com/play/qV2S8JWtG21GIhkcVamWow), students name things like food, education, and dancing as inalienable rights. What do you think? What do people have a right to?
How does the piece by O'Neil complicate those ideas?
What do people have a right to? How does guaranteeing those rights infringe on the other rights?
What other limitations might there be?
