[The Declaration of Independence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence) gives three examples of [inalienable rights](https://legaldictionary.net/inalienable-rights/), in the well-known phrase, “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”. The US Constitution recognises that certain universal rights cannot be taken away by legislation as they are beyond the control of a government. Inalienable rights are given to every individual at birth – they are not transferable or capable of being taken away. While there is not a specific list of inalienable rights, there are some rights that are generally accepted as natural rights. Some of these include: • To act in self-defence • To own private property • Freedom of thought and speech • Freedom of religion • To move freely within a country or to another

**Ultimately, there may be no such thing as objectively "inalienable rights", but subjectively, there's probably very good reason to have a few.** - Inalienable rights in the strongest possible sense of the term don't necessarily exist, but for all intents and purposes, I think there are some rights that should very well come with the nature of being in existence, including those mentioned above like "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - There is one inalienable right in particular that I could personally envision standing the test of basically all time and context: - The right to life (to not be harmed or killed purposefully) - That, to me, seems like one right that might come the closest to being something most people would desire to be an objectively, absolutely inalienable right.
