Thomas Jefferson included the phrase 'inalienable rights' or 'unalienable rights' in the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson brought these concepts in from the writings of John Locke. Locke was in turn heavily influenced by the speeches and writings of Edward Pococke (1604 - 1691), an English professor of Arabic and Islamic Studies.

He wrote in the Declaration of Independence that "We hold these truths to be self-evident, 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."

"
No rights were won by the Civil Rights Movement. As the Declaration of Independence says, "...they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights." The movement reminded us that those rights of life liberty and property belong to all of us regardless of skin color or ethnic origin.
No. Certain members of a population, like minors, can be prohibited from drinking by law. Many intoxicating drugs are illegal for recreational use. Inalienable rights are those which are considered fundamental and cannot be removed by legislation except under narrowly defined circumstances. Inalienable (or unalienable) rights are more basic: life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness.
In the Declaration of Independence these "inalienable rights" are specifically mentioned.Specifically, The Declaration of Independence states "We hold these truths to be self-evident, 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."
Easy to look up. The Constitution doesn't use either. The U.S. Declaration of Independence states "We find these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal and are endowed by their creator with certain UNALIENABLE rights...." (not inalienable)
God gives certain people the right to govern.

The idea that certain rights cannot be surrendered, transferred, or taken away is known as inalienable rights. These rights are considered inherent to all individuals by virtue of their humanity and are often enshrined in legal frameworks, such as the U.S. Declaration of Independence, which identifies life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as inalienable. This concept emphasizes that these fundamental rights exist independently of government recognition and cannot be legitimately revoked.

David Walker, the abolitionist, was quoting Thomas Jefferson, who originally composed that statement for the Declaration of Independence. Obviously, if all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights (including the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) then it is morally unacceptable to enslave people and to deny them their rights. That is the philosophical basis of the abolitionist movement. Note that President Lincoln also quoted this section of the Declaration of Independence in his most famous speech, the Gettysburg Address. It is an extremely important statement and it is fundamental to America.
