@DavidAvromBell @JRakove “…that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” This is totally consistent with the idea that TJ is describing the state of nature. — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidAvromBell @JRakove I do not know if I agree with Roosevelt’s reading of the Declaration but I also am not sure that the word “unalienable” has any particular bearing, given its place in the entire clause. — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidAvromBell @JRakove unalienable rights cannot be given away, but they can be seized, and TJ’s unalienable does not preclude the legitimacy of slavery among those who constitute the people, which is the larger point of the argument in the book, that slavery is actually consistent with the DoI — PolitiTweet.org
