Our Founders would have been well aware of Locke's writings which is why we see a difference between Locke's "life, liberty, & property" and Jefferson's "Life, Liberty, & Pursuit of Happiness."

The main difference is that one philosophical view of "inalienable rights" is that these rights are NOT transferable. "Pursuit of Happiness"cannot be transferred to another person, whereas property can.
