Which of the following are considered inalienable rights as guaranteed by the United States Constitution?

• A. Right to bear arms, freedom of religion, assembly
• B. Due process, equal protection
• C. Life, Liberty, Property
• D. Privacy, education, healthcare

Answer: (C)

Inalienable rights are those rights that are inherent to individuals and cannot be surrendered or removed by government without due process. The classic trio associated with this idea is Life, Liberty, and Property, a concept rooted in natural rights philosophy and reflected in the Constitution’s protections against deprivation of life, liberty, or property without due process.

Among the options, Life, Liberty, and Property best fit this definition. The other groupings describe rights guaranteed by the Constitution—such as bearing arms, religious freedom, and assembly; due process and equal protection; or privacy, education, and healthcare—but they are not typically framed as the fundamental inalienable rights in the same historical sense.
