Our nation was founded on the belief “that all men are… endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights”, an idea that was equally shared by the Framers of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence from England. By definition unalienable means no one can be deprived of or have those rights taken away. It was a life-long endowment granted by a High Authority and since such rights were not given by men, no one, not even governments, could take them away. The First Amendment exhibits such rights and reflects biblical values preserved in secular form without specifically mentioning the name of their Creator. It was written as the foundation for all other amendments and for the protection of citizens against governmental tyranny
