Colorado Anti-Discrimination Com. v. Case, 151 Colo. 235, 380 P.2d 34, 39-40 (12/17/1962) We have no hesitancy in stating that there are fundamental and inherent rights with which all humans are endowed even though no specific mention is made of them in either the national or state constitutions. "Truths" held to be self-evident in the language of the Declaration of Independence are that, *** "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness ***." Natural rights—inherent rights and liberties, are not the creatures of constitutional provisions either at the national or state level. The inherent human freedoms with [380 P.2d 34, 40] which mankind is endowed are "antecedent to all earthly governments, are rights which cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws, and are rights derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe." In the early case of Gow v. Bingham, 57 Misc. 66, 107 N.Y.S. 1011, this principle was recognized. It was there held that all men have rights which have their origin as natural rights independent of any express provision of law, and that constitutional provisions are not the source of these rights.
