In the Declaration of Independence these "unalienable rights" are specifically mentioned. Specifically, The Declaration of Independence states "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

One of the most famous documents in which these "unalienable rights" are specifically mentioned would be the "Declaration of Independence" of the United States, since Jefferson was greatly inspired by Locke.
