Detailed explanation-1: -In political theory, or political philosophy, John Locke refuted the theory of the divine right of kings and argued that all persons are endowed with natural rights to life, liberty, and property and that rulers who fail to protect those rights may be removed by the people, by force if necessary.
Detailed explanation-2: -What are the natural rights with which people are born, according to John Locke? According to Locke, all people are born free and equal, with three natural rights-life, liberty, and property. The purpose of government, said Locke, is to protect these rights.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -First, Locke argued that natural rights such as life, liberty, and property existed in the state of nature and could never be taken away or even voluntarily given up by individuals. These rights were “inalienable” (impossible to surrender).
