22. I think you have missed the thrust.. Be that as it may, " Inalienable rights"
Edited on Sat Dec-25-10 08:36 PM by ooglymoogly
was the term used in earlier drafts; however in the final draft, the word was changed to the more narrow "unalienable" leaving the possibility of confusion impossible.

Unalienable (rights):

The state of a thing or rights which cannot be sold.
Things which are not in commerce, as public roads, are in their nature unalienable. Some things are unalienable, in consequence of particular provisions in the law forbidding their sale or transfer, as pensions granted by the government. The natural rights of life and liberty are UNALIENABLE. Bouviers Law Dictionary 1856 Edition

Inalienable rights:

Rights which are not capable of being surrendered or transferred without the consent of the one possessing such rights. Morrison v. State, Mo. App., 252 S.W.2d 97, 101.
