"Inalienable rights do not have to be in the Constitution in order to exist."


You: "Then where do they exist?"


That's the definition of "inalienable." They are given by God and can't be taken by man. To codify our inalienable rights is to assume that those not enumerated are not granted.

That's the point of the 10th Amendment.
