No part of the Constitution discusses unalienable rights; that concept comes from the Declaration of Independence, which claims all [people] are born with the "unalienable" right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of Independence is not a legal document, however, and no government body is required to uphold its principles (except to the extend they're supported by the Constitution).

The rights enumerated in the Constitution are not "unalienable," and are not absolute.
