natural rights (john locke)
John Locke, an Enlightenment philosopher, was known for his idea that individuals have natural rights including the rights to life, liberty, and property. His writings on these natural rights had a significant influence on the American Declaration of Independence.
The Enlightenment idea of natural rights emphasized the belief that all individuals possessed inherent rights that were not granted by governments but were instead derived from nature or a higher power. These rights were considered fundamental to human existence and included rights such as life, liberty, and property. The concept of natural rights played a significant role in shaping the political and philosophical thinking of the Enlightenment period.
The enlightenment thinking on natural rights is a philosophy and not an actual power. A person has no responsibility to the idea of natural rights.
Natural rights; most state constitutions had a bill of rights.
