I agree with Gene's remarks to Jeff about the basis of inalienable rights.

Gene might also have cited from Henry De Bracton, an English judge 
living in the thirteenth century who had a tremendous influence on
British law:

	The king must not be under man but under God and under
	the law, because law makes the king, for there is no
	rex (king) where will rules, rather than lex (law).
