D
Natural Commandment
Explanation: 

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: -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-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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The trio of Life, Liberty, and Happiness is likely a reflection and reworking of English philosopher John Locke’s view that fundamental natural rights are “life, liberty, and property.” Though not stated in the Declaration, property rights still became important in the American social, economic, and legal system.

Detailed explanation-5: -Most philosophers agree that the right to life is the most fundamental natural right.
