Detailed explanation-1: -Natural rights are basic rights that include the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Every citizen is entitled to these rights and they are to be protected from encroachment by the government or society. It is both illegal and morally wrong for a person to be denied natural rights.
Detailed explanation-2: -Locke’s theory of government postulates that societies in their original condition comprised only individuals, without government. Individuals in this “state of nature"9 pos-sessed certain inherent rights and liberties which existed inde-pendently of government.
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."
