The wording is, "All men are endowed by thier Creator with certain
unalienable rights, among these....[enumerated]."

By the way: the wording is from the Declaration of Independence, not the
US Constitution, so it really isn't relevant to the discussion.
Additionally, that specific wording was chosen for its "propaganda" value --
it added an authoritative air to a document that would otherwise have been
seen by the British as a list of whiney complaints, and that would not have
received the support of much of the general populace.
