What are inalienable rights?

Inalienable rights are certain privileges that we as humans are given at birth. They are rights that can not be violated, or taken away. They are permanent for as long as you live. I believe that the idea of inalienable rights were created to ensure certain amenities to the individual to create a peaceful existence. Also to make sure that every individual is given equal opportunities.


We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain Inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
