In dignity and worth as endowed by our Creator (as clarified in the DoI also) thus we have the inalienable right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. These things can be taken away by others who trespass against our inherent rights, but it is then an injustice done against us. Objectively, the interest of justice assures those rights.
