Yes. You can give up any of your rights as a matter of contract law.

There are in fact still states in the US where indentured servitude is permissible to eradicate a debt. There goes liberty.

You can sign off rights to a second car not covered in the contract for the one you took the loan out for; this is called conversion of collateral. There goes property.

In some states, such as Oregon and Washington, you can sign a contract that lets another unplug your ventilator and let you die, even if you are not terminally ill or permanently incapacitated. There goes life.

You can sign a nondisclosure contract with an employer so that you do not share corporate secrets. There goes speech (I know, not inalienable, but "life, liberty, and property" are not the limit).

It's all a matter of the language used in the contract.

What are your rights if you signed a contract and it did not include what was discussed?

Then why did you sign it? Did you not read what you signed. It is going to be their word against yours. Your rights were spelled out in the contract you signed, and you are bound by that agreement. Unless they agree that something was left out. I would be very nice and discuss this with them. Hopefully they will amend the contract. Otherwise you may be stuck with what you signed. Of course you can and probably should seek legal advice.

A company asked me to join them a one year contract was signed and now they say that they may not use me. Can they breach the contract and not use me?

The answer depends on what's in your contract. You need to review your copy of the contract that you signed. The company may have reserved the right to not hire you. If you still have questions you should have it reviewed by an attorney who can explain your rights and options. You may not have read it carefully enough before you signed.

What are three alienable rights?

An alienable right is a right that can be signed away to someone else, usually a governing body, who can then take it away from you. Alienable rights are different from unalienable, which are inherent to all people and any contract signing them away is invalid. It is just to take away alienable rights that have been contracted away, but always unjust to take away alienable rights.

Check the contract you signed when you bought the new car. It will tell you what you can and can't do and what your rights are. Typically, once you have signed that contract you can't return the car no matter what, so READ THE FINE PRINT.
