Inalienable rights are basic rights that can neither be taken away from someone nor can any person give them away, such as the right to life.

Inalienable rights are rights that literally cannot be alienated from the holder (this means that the holder can neither give them away nor have them taken away).  The clearest example of an inalienable right is liberty – no matter what happens one can refuse to assent to it.  
    
The [[Declaration of Independence]] describes inalienable (misspelled as unalienable) rights as the foundation for society, and if a sovereign (i.e., king) deprives those rights then the people may declare their independence.
