Detailed explanation-1: -They are generally accepted and applied, and human law cannot contradict them. These are necessary for society and humanity. Based on the premise that all men are born equal, there are three natural rights that are deemed universal. The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are the three rights.
Detailed explanation-2: -Among these fundamental natural rights, Locke said, are “life, liberty, and property.” Locke believed that the most basic human law of nature is the preservation of mankind. To serve that purpose, he reasoned, individuals have both a right and a duty to preserve their own lives.
Detailed explanation-3: -A central argument made by Locke is that each individual has a natural right to life, liberty and property, even in the state of nature. These natural rights flow from natural law and are governed by it. These rights are pre-political and are, thus, in effect granted by God and held by every individual from birth.
