UNALIENABLE RIGHTS VS INALIENABLE RIGHTS

UNALIENABLE RIGHTS

The state of a thing or right 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

“Unalienable: incapable of being alienated, that is, sold and transferred.” – Black’s Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, page 1523:

You can not surrender, sell or transfer unalienable rights; they are a gift from the Creator to the individual and cannot under any circumstances be surrendered or taken. All individual’s have unalienable rights.

INALIENABLE RIGHTS

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.

You can surrender, sell or transfer inalienable rights if you consent either actually or constructively. Inalienable rights are not inherent in man and can be alienated by government. Persons have inalienable rights. Most state constitutions recognize only inalienable rights.
