Detailed explanation-1: -Unalienable rights are universal and nontransferable. They are pre-political in the sense that they are not created by persons or society but rather set standards for politics.
Detailed explanation-2: -Locke wrote that all individuals are equal in the sense that they are born with certain “inalienable” natural rights. That is, rights that are God-given and can never be taken or even given away. Among these fundamental natural rights, Locke said, are “life, liberty, and property."
Detailed explanation-3: -Those natural rights examples found in the U.S. Bill of Rights would be freedoms of religion, speech, assembly, privacy, and equality under the law. By virtue of being born, these rights are unalienable.
Detailed explanation-4: -What does inalienable mean? Inalienable describes things, especially rights, that cannot be taken away, denied, or transferred to another person.
