Quote by: Kamehameha34  Americans are legally guaranteed the right to both life and liberty. It would be incorrect to say that Americans are not guaranteed the right of life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness. |
I have a feeling we are just splitting hairs here.
But the right to life and liberty is conditional and has to be kept within context of the constitution.
As for the pursuit of happiness, that is not guaranteed by the constitution.
And here I am specifically talking about the US constitution , not individual state constitutions.
The pursuit of happiness is to vague a statement to be able to legally enforce it.
