Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -John Locke’s theory of natural rights consists of the rights to life, liberty, and property. Every human being has these rights in a state of nature, and they have to be preserved when people enter into a commonwealth.

Detailed explanation-3: -To Locke, a Government existed, among other things, to promote public good, and to protect the life, liberty, and property of its people. For this reason, those who govern must be elected by the society, and the society must hold the power to instate a new Government when necessary.

Detailed explanation-4: -The state of nature in Locke’s theory represents the beginning of a process in which a state for a liberal, constitutional government is formed. Locke regards the state of nature as a state of total freedom and equality, bound by the law of nature.
