@squeaky206 I thought you would know the answer to this. The person just behind you @Bonnie Bucks Bar picked the right document. The document that declares where rights come from is The Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence, signed on The Fourth of July, 1776 is a letter from the United States, written to the king of England, explaining to him what Americans believe and why we believe we have the right to separate from England. Here are the first two paragraphs:
"The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America:
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. . . . "
The official position of the United States government is that our human rights are bestowed upon us by the Creator.
That is the official position of the United States of America.
