Natural Law and Natural Rights (by Robert P. George)

Natural Law, as explained by Robert P. George, is the idea that there are universal moral principles rooted in human nature and reason, guiding how we should act. Natural Rights are the fundamental freedoms and claims each person possesses inherently, such as life, liberty, and property, which derive from these moral principles. These concepts suggest that moral duties and individual rights are connected to our nature as rational beings, and they provide a foundation for just laws and ethical behavior that respect human dignity.
