rights that flow from natural law, and are therfore obvious
The right to govern derives from God's law.
This is a Latin phrase which means, "the good is to be done and pursued, and evil avoided." It is the first precept of Natural Law, which means that, as St Thomas Aquinas held, it need not be further reduced or explained, because it is self evident to any thinking person.

In the Deceleration of Independence, two powers entitled the colonists to revolt against England and become an independent entity. These were Nature's God and Natural Law. Natural Law refers to the discovery of science that uses nature to explain the world rationally. There was emphasis on reason, and through reason the colonists concluded that they had a right to become independent. Nature's god was the divine entity that gave them these rights of Natural law. He created the world, set it in motion, and gave humans the power of reason to make sure self-evident natural law was prevalent. Both powers indicate humans have the capacity to reason and the right to govern themselves.

A phrase used to refer to situations where audi alteram partem (the right to be heard) and nemo judex in partesua (no person may judge their own case) apply. The principles of 'natural justice' were derived from the Romans who believed that some legal principles were "natural" or self-evident, and did not require a statutory basis in order to be applied. This principle should guide decisions by judges or government officials when they make quasi-judicial or judicial decisions. HOWEVER - so-called "natural law" is a guiding principle and not a "right," nor is it codified in law.

Natural law or the law of nature a theory that posits the existence of a law whose content is set by nature and that therefore has validity everywhere.[1] The phrase natural law is opposed to the positive law (which is man-made) of a given political community, society, or nation-state, and thus can function as a standard by which to criticize that law.
