The two types of rights:
Quote:Unalienable: incapable of being alienated, that is, sold and transferred.
Quote:Inalienable rights: Rights which are not capable of being surrendered or transferred without the consent of the one possessing such rights.
It's interesting that your source cites only one primary source (Morrison v. State, Mo. App., 252 S.W.2d 97, 101) for "inalienable"; in this case, the court appears to consider "inalienable" a synonym for "unalienable". Furthermore, the dictionary definition cited in Morrison, is compatible with my own definition: if a contract needs to be enforced, then consent no longer obtains.
While I have some legal training, I haven't gone to law school and am not a lawyer, so fine distinctions in legal terminology may escape me.
