You, I think, are talking about rights which are guaranteed by the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights. Those rights may or may not derive from the Creator, but they are enforceable in a court of law. Yes.. but the constitution was written in order to state the rights that US citizen would enjoy, and which the state could not take away without due process of law. It was not written for non-US citizens. However, the concept of human rights derive from the philisophical belief contained in the declaration of independence, and upon which the constitution was directly influenced. As I said, it's a matter of perception. But the reality is that human rights can be taken denied to a person, but that would be illegal both in the framework of the constitution, but also the spiritual basis upon which it derived. And yes... it is ironic about Jefferson... just as is the heavy Masonic influence influence of the founders, which is often underplayed in the formation of the US.
