Without all the fancy shpancy words. It means what is yours it stays yours no matter what. They can't be change or redefined, because they are the basic rights you have as a human being.

The term inalienable rights (or unalienable rights) refers to a set of human rights that are in some sense fundamental, are not awarded by human power, and cannot be surrendered. They are by definition, rights retained by the people. Inalienable rights may be defined as natural rights or human rights, but natural rights are not required by definition to be inalienable.

Basically, what I was told in Social Studies, They are rights that belong to US- not the government.

God given priveleges and rights that man does not have the authority to take away; meaning that man alone is not powerful enough to deny them to another man, only God is (the Framers said these were life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness)

the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the last meaning doing what makes you happy as long as it doesn't interfere with some one elses rights.

I believe that what the founding fathers of America meant by that phrase were rights that cannot be denied and should not be refused.
