Our Rights Come From the Creator not From the Government
In nihilistic political societies like Hitler’s Germany or any Communist country it is very easy for the country to erode someone’s political rights. In our country, according to the document that created the legal foundation for the existence of our nation, the Declaration of Independence, it said the rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are given by the Creator and it is the government’s job to “secure these rights”. Therefore if our government becomes “destructive of these ends” it is the “right of the people to alter or abolish it”. In a society where these rights are not natural rights the government can sacrifice these rights for the greater good. In Communist countries these rights are always laid out in their constitutions, but since the rights do not come from a Creator but from the government, the government can suspend those rights if it serves the government’s ends. That is usually when the concentration camps open up and the executions start.
