natural rights  

Definition

  • Natural rights are a direct corollary to the theory of natural law. Natural law can be viewed from four perspectives: (1) as a function of the physical laws of nature, (2) as a function of religion, (3) as a function of the nonphysical realm, or (4) as a function of reason or rational determination.
