The title brings back memories of my bachelor's degree. I chose "fundamental" instead of "inalienable". After I found bitcoin, I wanted to burn my work because there's hardly any property right without bitcoin. Maybe that piece of cringe was my price to pay to enter bitcoin. ๐คญ

Unalienable is the word I choose because it's the word the founding fathers chose.
Unalieanable rights are rights that cannot be taken away, not even by a 100% majority vote. Unalienable rights cannot be legislated away, and they cannot be ruled away by a supreme court. They cannot be contracted away. Governments and institutions cannot add qualifiers to unalienable rights, and they cannot dilute them. They have no authority over unalienable rights.
America is a country of unalienable rights. The Constitution does not grant those rights. The Constitution explicitly tells the government that it cannot, and shall not, infringe on those rights.
Democracy robs freedom of choice from minorities.
Unalienable rights and individual free agency guarantee the rights of minorities and of individuals.
