“‘The Declaration of Independence lists life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ as unalienable rights. Those can never be taken away and are only in God’s hands. ”
Even those rights, were not actually viewed as inalienable. Slavery was of course practiced for nearly a century after those words were written. Sure philosophers can argue that slaves weren’t included in the “all men” . The same philosophers can argue that doing x , y z isnt included either.
More to my point though, as far as I’m aware the “the pursuit of happiness” is not a Torah ideal.
Sure we would support the GOVERNMENT’s guarantee of the the pursuit of happiness, but that doesnt make it G-d given.
