= "shall not be questioned. The rights guaranteed by this section shall be unalienable. Any restriction on these rights shall be subject to strict scrutiny and the state of Missouri shall be obligated to uphold these rights and shall under no circumstances decline to protect against their infringement. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the general assembly from enacting general laws which limit the rights of convicted violent felons or those adjudicated by a court to be a danger to self or others as result of a mental disorder or mental infirmity."
The problem with the concept of "unalienable" is it's unconstitutional. The fact that amendments can be made to the constitution is proof that none of these sections are actually unalienable. People can argue that the language of the section says this or that, but there's nothing stopping the government, with enough votes, from repealing that section or replacing the text.
