So there was no "red herring" at all.  Instead there were two examples of DIRECT PROOF that the founding fathers agreed "inalienable" rights could be taken away.



Yes I have.  Have you looked up the words "liberty" and "slavery"?  Have you looked up the word "life" and "capital punishment"?

I've posted exact words that the founding fathers wrote. You have been asked numerous times to post words to support your assumptions and as of yet have chosen not to do so. I can only assume you think the fathers meant something else when the wrote inalienable, but it doesn't change the words.

So for the final time: Do you have any actual words you want to share or just roll with your interpretation because of slavery,
