Dee:
HELLO!
You are quite correct (and unalienable is used.) I am guilty of "clumping"
all of these together, including the amendments also ... I am guilty of
being "pro-for-the-people" and quite lax about maintaining confines when it
comes to their rights.
Warmest regards,
JS

The way I understand our constitution, a man creates a debt to society
with
crime, once he pays this debt he is to have his rights restored; this
keeps
society from creating dangerous and dark forces through abuses of its'
citizens. While I do believe special arguments can be made of the type
of
crime a criminal commits, child molestation, premeditated murder, rape,
etc., in most instances the above should be followed. I think one clue
is
the statement in our constitution, paraphrased here, " ... endowed with
unalienable rights by
his creator ..." This is best seen when one applies thought and sees
that any tampering with such rights immediately infringes upons ones
rights to the "pursuit of happiness", freedom and access to those
resources granted us by our creator.
That is in the Declaration of Independence not the Constitution.
