If my understanding is correct it is that inalienable is a legal term that simply means not subject to change or retraction, whereas unalienable which is used in the declaration means God given, endowed by our creator and thus inviolate under any circumstance. Perhaps some one who has breached the subject can enlighten us as to the nuanced differences.

Unalienable: Incapable of being alienated, that is sold and transferred. Black’s Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, page 1523.

You cannot surrender, sell or transfer unalieanble rights, they are a gift from the Creator to the individual and can not under any circumstances be surrendered or taken. All individuals have unalienable rights.

Inalienable rights: Rights which are not capable of being surrendered or transferred without the consent of the one possessing such rights. Morrison v. State, Mo. App., 252 S.W. 2d 97,101.

You can surrender, sell or transfer inalienable rights if you consent either actually or constructively. Inalienable rights are not inherent in man and can be alienated by government. Persons have inalienable rights. Most state constitutions recognize only inalieanble rights.
