Rights that cannot be taken away or given up are called unalienable rights. This term is used most famously in the US Declaration of Independence.
In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson used the word "inalienable" rights to refer to rights that cannot be taken away - in fact, cannot even be given up voluntarily.
It refers to them as "inalienable rights" which are those human rights due everyone, regardless of their society or system of government. Inalienable means "cannot be given up to others."
They are rights that cannot be taken away by anyone, including the government, and those rights are "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness".
The 9th Amendment to the Constitution limits the powers of the government to constrict the rights of the people. This means that the people have other rights besides what is written in the wording of the Constitution. The 10th Amendment says that the government has rights that are also not written into the Constitution.
This is a line from the US declaration of Independence from Great Britain. "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" It is an expansion on a train of thought in British (and therefore American) legal thinking at the time, that a Government cannot take away certain rights nor can people voluntarily give them up this is what "unalienable" means - "can't be got rid of" so it means basically "people have some rights which are untouchable by anyone" the Declaration goes on to list some of these rights "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"
The concept of limited government means less infringement on individual rights and the economy.
The barrier means the people will have a way to protect their rights from the government.

First of all, the original phrasing by Jefferson ignores women, who were at the time generally regarded as being much less important than men, and certainly not entitled to the same kinds of rights that men have; a more modern statement would describe the rights of people, rather than just the rights of men.Secondly, it is not literally true that a government cannot take away people's rights; governments do this all the time, especially dictatorial or tyrannical governments, of which there are many. Rather, what this statement is trying to say is that it is morally offensive for governments to deprive people of their basic human rights. People deserve to have these rights.As for what specifically these rights are, the right to life means you should not be arbitrarily killed; the right to liberty means that you should not be arbitrarily imprisoned, and the right to pursue happiness means that you should be able to live your own life as you see fit, without arbitrary interference from the government.

The 9th Amendment to the Constitution limits the powers of the government to constrict the rights of the people. This means that the people have other rights besides what is written in the wording of the Constitution. The 10th Amendment says that the government has rights that are also not written into the Constitution.
The assertion that certain rights are inalienable means that no person, government, or authority of any kind has the right to deprive people of those rights.
It means they cannot be ''alienated'' or they are natural rights.Natural rights are those not contingent upon the laws, customs, or beliefs of any particular culture or government, and therefore universal and inalienable (i.e., rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws).
It means rights that cannot be taken away.
