Who has inherent powers?
Inherent powers are powers that the government and officials of the government hold. They are not necessarily listed powers found in a constitution but powers that are needed by the government in order to govern. It is similar to Jefferson's contention in the Declaration that governments get their power from the governed and there are certain rights that even the government cannot take away from the citizen--inalienable rights. The government has similar rights that are given it simply because it exists as a government.
What was the founding fathers?
The founding fathers were religious men, but that was not their philosophy. Being men of education during their time, they were well read and took their philosophy from the idea of Natural Law. They believed, as stated in the Declaration of Independence, that all men were created equal and that their Creator (who they called God) had given all men certain rights which could not justly be taken away. This manifested itself in their view of the use of government being to serve the people and the view that government must not interfere with the rights God had given.
How does Locke's thinking compare with the theory of the divine right of monarchy?
Locke stated that man had natural rights given by God. The Kings in 1776 and before stated they were given their status by God and represented God on earth. Therefore they were the only ones with rights. Locke turned this thinking on its head. Instead of royalty having the only rights Locke stated that man had the rights to life, liberty, and happiness. This was revolutionary.
What is the purpose of the constitutional rights?
We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. Contrary to popular belief, the Constitution does not grant rights to the people but expressly prohibits the government from interfering in certain unalienable rights that can only be given (and thus can only be taken) by our Creator. Many of the other papers and communications of the founding fathers also supports these beliefs and the Constitution was actually written to limit the powers of the federal government and not to grant rights to we the people.
