Detailed explanation-1: -Locke wrote that all individuals are equal in the sense that they are born with certain “inalienable” natural rights. That is, rights that are God-given and can never be taken or even given away. Among these fundamental natural rights, Locke said, are “life, liberty, and property."
Detailed explanation-2: -It is intended to protect individual rights from infringement by other individuals, nation-states, or political orders. Natural law as a protection of social practices and norms applies not only to states and governments but also to individuals.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to Locke, the main purpose of government is to protect those natural rights that the individual cannot effectively protect in a state of nature.
Detailed explanation-4: -Those natural rights of life, liberty, and property protected implicitly in the original Constitution are explicitly protected in the Bill of Rights. That right of liberty is the right to do all those things which do not harm another’s life, property, or equal liberty.
