Certain rights that were not granted by the government but inherent to individuals are articulated in the Declaration of Independence, particularly in the phrase "unalienable Rights," which include "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." This concept emphasizes that these rights are intrinsic to all people and cannot be taken away by government authority. The idea reflects Enlightenment principles, asserting that individuals are entitled to fundamental freedoms simply by virtue of being human.

Federalism is the principle of dividing power between a central government and individual states.

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 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.
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 rights did Jefferson say all people are given?
Jefferson stated in the Declaration that people had the God given rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This was not meant to be liberal, but more an idea. Happiness can not be guaranteed and it is up to the individual to make themselves happy. People have choice and according to the Declaration man institutes government to do his work.
