Ah! At last we agree that the government gets it power by the consent of the people, which gave their consent to relinquish their "natural right" to due process!
One problem: women, Indians, and slaves didn't give their consent and their unalienable natural rights were nonetheless NOT granted, and without their consent.
We agree that the government gets its power by the consent of the governed, but you go further to make the incorrect claim that the government is the source of natural rights.
And slavery does not exist, while women, Indians, [and blacks] are all in a position to give their consent.
After a shitload of Amendments, you mean. The government alienated those so-called inalienable rights until those Amendments were ratified, and even after that, Jim Crow alienated all those inalienable rights of blacks, so basically, your creator amounts to a dogpile.
Your actual point is beyond me. You are arguing for the sake of arguing.
Over time, the American people have exercised their G-d-given power to alter the government, creating "a more perfect union".
