John Locke created Natural Rights/Law
he believed each man and women were equal and born with natural rights. These rights include life,liberty,and property (pursuit of happiness). This also follows up to social contract. We give up a little freedom to be protected by the government. His idea influnced the declaration of independence ( D.O.I).
Also if the government failed to protect our rights citizens have the right to rebel against them.
Hope this helped!
