Easy to look up. The Constitution doesn't use either. The U.S. Declaration of Independence states "We find these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal and are endowed by their creator with certain UNALIENABLE rights...." (not inalienable)

The Constitution does not "grant" rights to anyone. As the Declaration of Independence states, your rights come from God, as in "...endowed by their creator...". The Constitution RESTRICTS government from infringing on your rights.

Yep! although unalienable seems to have been in usage about 34 years before inalienable (1611 and 1645). Just part of our ever-evolving English language.

The final version of the Declaration of Independence used the word "unalienable," but some earlier drafts used "inalienable."
