Natural Rights Philosophy

Natural Rights Philosophy is the idea that individuals inherently possess certain fundamental rights simply by being human. These rights—such as life, liberty, and property—are not granted by governments or rulers but are intrinsic to our nature. This philosophy emphasizes that governments should protect these rights, and when they fail or violate them, citizens have a moral right to challenge or change the authorities. It underpins many concepts of individual freedom and justice, advocating that rights are universal, inalienable, and should be respected regardless of circumstances or societal status.
