How do we arrive at the conclusion that humans are entitled to certain freedom's that must be protected by the government? Have they been faithful in protecting our rights as the declaration of independence Laid out?
Is there such thing as self evident or inalienable rights?

Right means straight up, square, correct, the strong arm, a legal privilege. The common meaning to all those things is strength. You have a right to life, but only if you are strong enough to cling to it. You have a right to the space you occupy, but only if you are strong enough to defend it. You have a right to own property, but only if you can guard it from all attackers. You may obtain the services of a champion to defend your rights, or create a government for that purpose, but of course the champion's loyalty might become a concern, and governments always eventually renege on the contract.
The only purpose of a government is to prevent anybody else from taking control. The duty of a citizen is to control his government. That is why governments always eventually treat citizens as enemies of the state.
