Read the excerpt from the Arizona Republic editorial "Supreme Court Affirms the Right to Pursue Happiness,” published on June 26, 2015, about a case that resulted in nationwide legal recognition of same-sex marriage. It's a day to remind ourselves of what it says in the Declaration of Independence: "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.” Not all truths are self-evident to us, of course. Some things take time. Too much time. What conclusion about unalienable rights can best be drawn from the excerpt? Rights are always quickly identified and protected by the government. The only rights the government protects are life, liberty, and happiness. People do not always agree about what rights everyone should have. Citizens cannot ask the government to fix problems or protect new rights.
