What document protects the unalienable rights?

The phrase "certain unalienable rights" is not in the U.S. Constitution at all, and so they are not guaranteed. The phrase appears in the Declaration of Independence, at the beginning of the second paragraph: "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." Since the Declaration of Independence did only what its title says, declare independence from Britain, and listed the reasons for it, it has no force at law.
