Best Answer

It was NOT the Declaration of Independence they met to revise, but the Articles of Confederation. They were supposed to modify the Confederation; instead they came up with an entirely new government, described in the Constitution.

Where does it speak of unalienable rights in the us constitution?

No part of the Constitution discusses unalienable rights; that concept comes from the Declaration of Independence, which claims all [people] are born with the "unalienable" right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of Independence is not a legal document, however, and no government body is required to uphold its principles (except to the extend they're supported by the Constitution). The rights enumerated in the Constitution are not "unalienable," and are not absolute.
