Inalienable rights are the rights given to the individual, which cannot be taken away without the individual's consent. They are mistakenly confused with "unalienable rights" which cannot be taken away with or without consent. The committee behind the Declaration of Independence believed that human rights shouldn't be alienated even by those given the right because of their major importance. Such rights include "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." They are absolute rights given by the creator which cannot be tampered with by government. In basic terms, man has the right to happiness, security, freedom and private property. These natural rights are given to the individual at birth with understanding that all men are created equally.
