Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The right to property broadly includes (Locke, 1689, 2.32) both ‘the fruits of the earth and the earth itself’. The earth and all inferior creatures were held in common by all men; each man had as ‘property’ only his own person, the labour of his body, and the work of his hands (Morris, 1931: 59).
