"just laws of men"... Well, since you brought it up, actually, the rule of men and not laws is exactly what we're afraid of. To you it's a feature, to us it's a bug. The number of people killed by their own governments in the 20th century proved us right once and for all. We don't think our Rights come from Men. They didn't come from Men and can't be removed by Men. They are inalienable Rights we were born with. We don't care what the government d'jour thinks it can do. We had these Rights before there was an America, and every person everywhere has these Rights as well. That's what "endowed by their Creator with Inalienable Rights" means. Whether or not people choose to stand up for them is another topic. Just so you have a clear idea where we're coming from and what the words, "from my cold, dead hands" mean.
