Hey all you constitution scholars (hereafter known as CS): I have a question regarding what is being said here.

Radar, you say that a right cannot be regulated or revoked, while a privelege can be. However, what about "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"? What I mean is don't CS people say those are human rights? Now, when somone kills someone we put them in jail...we have revoked their liberty, have we not?

So (I'm really just trying to learn here) what exactly are rights as opposed to priveleges?
