The Natural Rights that you have where not given to you by any power other than God. You have them regardless of if a government choices to recognize them or not.
Read Thomas Jefferson or any other of the Founders.

Democracy just means a government by the people.
A republic is a government headed by a president and officials elected by the voters.
Rights of the people are usually set forth in a constituion.
You can have a democracy without a guarantee of rights.

In a democracy
rights are not "given"
they are TAKEN -- by the people -- by way of their power !
For rights to be "given" denotes a power over the people that circumvents their abilities to set the guidelines and call the shots --- this is NOT part of a true democracy -- for within a true democracy -- the will of the people IS the overall force and it is by way of THIS power -- people (as a whole) set the margins FOR the rights that they see as necessary !!

Well, I don't know of any democracies that vote themselves fewer rights. That is, If they are true democracies not some banana republics.
