>> And aren't they inalienable rights rather than unalienable?

No, my dictionary confirms that both are acceptable. Keep in mind that the bright folks who penned the Declaration of Independence lived in the 1700s, and that the the English language has changed a bit in the ensuing 250 years. If we drop back a few centuries earlier, written English is virtually uncomprehensible, though the sentiments they portray still hold true.

The firste vertue, sone, if thou wilt lere,
Is to restreine and kepen wel thy tonge.
