UNALIENABLE vs. INALIENABLE

[The following was not written by me, but I found it today and wanted to share. You can read the rest of the article, which includes several quotes from different court cases, here. I only wish it had addressed our God-given unalienable rights to FAMILY.]

UNALIENABLE: 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 can not under any circumstances be surrendered or taken. All individual's have unalienable rights.

INALIENABLE:

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.

****************************************************

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights,  that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
