I feel like this falls under the “life” part of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”

Also, in a broader sense, “we can shit everywhere all we want and never clean up” is a criminally idiotic way to govern

That phrase is not in the constitution tho. It was a line from the DOI at the start of the revolution and isn’t actually binding to the current American federal government.

it’s worth about as much as toilet paper since this has never meant anything during any part of US history.

This is regarding the State itself not depriving people of life (e.g. by execution) except by due process, not a guarantee that life will be protected in any other sense for any other reason.

Obviously also bullshit given cops summarily executing people and having qualified immunity, etc., but if we’re being pedantic, we should go all the way.

But there is a line in the constitution mentioning the government’s duty to provide for the general welfare.

Not that any of this shit matters but still
