If the rights are granted by man made laws then they are not inalienable. By definition they are not.
Fine by me, but then people need to quit calling them inalienable rights.
The rights do univerally exist, that is what our Founding Fathers were trying to say. They wrote a document to protect these rights, not everyone does that.
The answer to your question would be free will.
