Answer 1

First of all, you might take the somewhat archaic approach that our Founders did, and that is that everyone everywhere has the same Rights, and the difference is that in America, the government was founded my people that understood that the purpose of government is to protect those Rights. (That's all in the Declaration of Independence).

You'll have to be careful in correcting your teacher diplomatically, but you can make a much better essay if you start from reality rather than your teacher's misconception. The reality is that every human being possesses these Rights, they do NOT flow from government; if they did, they would not be "Rights".

From there you can discuss the Rights that were enumerated in the Constitution, most of which are notably absent in most of the world, and under attack from one party or the other here. At any rate, the Bill of Rights (first ten amendments to the Constitution) is your list of Rights to discuss.
