Step-by-step explanation:

While announcing the Declaration of Independence, The Founding Father Thomas Jefferson mentioned that every human has " certain inalienable (unalienable) rights." Those rights are liberty, life, and pursuit of happiness.

The term inalienable (unalienable) is an adjective used in freedom, political or religious movements. It means that "unable to take away from or deny something to" a person by any possessor or ruler.
