The founders claimed governments were instituted among men to secure our rights. You have claimed that rights are a product of government and won through struggle. It is that issue I was addressing.


As for our right to property, in the original drafts it read "Life, liberty and property", the founders did recognize an individuals right to property but changed it to "Pursuit of happiness" because of slavery. Additionally, you seem to confuse the word "Property" with "Land" or real estate and further seem to think that a "Right" is something that must be provided to an individual when that is not the case.
