New France was Canada in the 1600s. Unalienable rights are rights that are guarenteed to every person, that no government can take away from you - stated in the 1st 10 amendments (bill of rights)

The concept of inalienable rights was proposed by John Locke (1632-1704), an English Enlightenment philosopher. He thought that a government could only be legitimate if it received the consent of the governed through a social contract and protected the natural rights of life, liberty, and property. If such consent was not given, according to Locke, citizens had a right of rebellion. This was in stark contrast to the then-prevailing view that government is ordained by God and political power must thus be hereditary and absolute.
As to New France, that was the term used for French colonies in North America, which mostly were located in what is now Canada.

Unalienable rights are considered to be God given and therefore can not be taken away by man.
Canada was called New France!

Unalienable rights are those granted to each person by God, and they may not be taken away. Life liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are those listed in the Declaration of Independence.

Canada east and parts of the States was New France. E.G Louisville, Detroit, New Orleans. Most Canadian older cities had Indian names: Quebec = Statacona, Montreal = Hoechelaga, Kingston = Cataraqui, Toronto = Toronto or Mississauga. The French explorers travelled North America east of the Mississippi but unlike the Dutch and English who were later looking for land, the French were looking for pelts for fur.

Rights were are given by virtue of being human and that no one, for any reason, can deny us.
It comes from John Locke's concept of the social contract. Thomas Jefferson borrowed it for the Declaration of Independence.
New France was Quebec, wasn't it?
