It's a natural right according to...

I mean, I agree with your theory so far as those are not the only unalienable rights, but this sounds an awful lot like you putting the words "the right to private property is an unalienable right" in the founding fathers' mouths.


Well, the basic tenet of natural law is that you have the right to your own body (life, liberty) and the right to the fruits of your own labor (property, pursuit of happiness).

It is impossible to have a "right" to specific goods and services, because then you are laying a claim on someone else's life, liberty, property, etc.
