Karl Marx believed that history was governed by the "science" of economics. He wrote that whom ever held the economic advantage in any period of time "created" the history of that time. Marx also did what can be called a "double take" on this issue.

Natural law is a set of moral rules that govern human behavior and are deemed to be inherent in nature. Natural rights are rights that are believed to be derived from natural law, such as the right to life, liberty, and property. In this sense, natural law serves as the foundation for the concept of natural rights.

He believed that these natural laws could be discovered through reason and contemplation, leading to a harmonious and just society.
