The unalienable rights give the people the right to overthrow the government. This is because “among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” which have to be safeguarded by any American government in the long run. Otherwise, there can be the development of a tyrannical government in which case liberty would not be available for the citizens of America. The voters who vote and elect individuals to run the government also provide “just powers from the consent of the governed”.
