With that said, the part I disagreed with you about is voting being an unalienable right. The language "unalienable rights" comes from the Declaration of Independence (which was great as it was, is nothing more that a well penned frick you letter to Great Britain) and not the US Constitution which is a legal document.

Fair point about the Declaration of Independence vs. the Constitution. I would counter with verbiage used in amendments 15, 19, 24, and 26.

AMENDMENT XV
Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude

AMENDMENT XIX
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

AMENDMENT XXIV
Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay poll tax or other tax.
