No comment here. Just taking the poll.
The cap is 10 choices, so I couldn't' add more.

What's your point? Regardless of whether rights are "God-given", without a State to ensure them they aren't anything but wishful thinking.

Without a state, there would be no need to "ensure" them.

Without a state, you'd be pretty fucked.

None of the above. Our rights are created as part of a social compact. Otherwise they are unenforceable. Then we would be in a Hobbesian state.
Innate, and the only job of the government is to protect them.
I would also point out that by failing to outlaw slavery the Constitution was clearly a piece of crap that failed to live up to the standards for government which justified the revolution in the first place.
Rights are just the name people made up to describe moral beliefs they considered important. The whole thing about them being God given is also a belief but it is also propaganda and an attempt to make sure people know they are important.
By calling them rights it is also meant to establish the relationship between the people and the government. Essentially the basis for establishing the government in the first place is for that government to protect these rights (Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness). Inherent in the belief concerning rights is that government can be abolished if it fails to live up to these requirements.
