Rights inherently possessed by all people, such as described in the Declaration of Independence.

• A. Civil rights
• B. Inalienable rights
• C. Economic rights
• D. Legal rights

Answer: (B)

The right idea here is that some freedoms belong to people simply because they are human, not because a government gives them or can take them away. These are inalienable rights, universal and inherent to every person. The Declaration of Independence frames them as rights you have "endowed" to you, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, means these freedoms exist before governments and are the government’s purpose to protect. They aren’t earned, bought, or granted by laws; they exist independently of legal systems. While civil rights, economic rights, and legal rights are real and important, they describe protections and entitlements created or defined by laws and institutions, rather than the universal, pre-existing freedoms the Declaration emphasizes.
