what are the three rights that are explicity listed in the declaration of independence?

Answer 1

Actually, I thought there are 4 so I pulled this quote from the Declaration of Independence : "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

I've included this paragraph because I believe that it is very applicable to current political leanings "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."

Answer 2

The three unalienable rights mentioned in the Declaration of Independence are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; I believe that Thomas Jefferson originally intended to list life, liberty and property-a phrase originally used by John Locke.

The words may have been rhetorically effective but I'm not sure these rights are truly unalienable (not to mention inalienable) and I'm not at all sure that these rights represent truths which are self evident.

Answer 3

I believe its Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. But, I am not 100% on that.
