The treaty of alliance (1778) that the United States dropped out of in 1793, which was supposed to uphold the French crown's right to land in America? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-American_alliance
Which lead to the French Revolution where French revolutionaries executed government supporters, and whom the French people ultimately fought and won their natural right to freedoms the government never granted them. Do you think all the fighting throughout human history was for government rights, or was it for individual natural rights?
No matter, if you fail to see how governments don't preserve/grant rights , good luck begging for government to allow you to have any.

Franco-American alliance
The Franco-American alliance was the 1778 alliance between the Kingdom of France and the United States during the American Revolutionary War. Formalized in the 1778 Treaty of Alliance, it was a military pact in which the French provided many supplies for the Americans. The Netherlands and Spain later joined as allies of France; Britain had no European allies. The French alliance was possible once the Americans captured a British invasion army at Saratoga in October 1777, demonstrating the viability of the American cause.
