NATURAL RIGHTS ......is a fundamental human rights based on universal natural law, as opposed to those based on man-made positive law. Although there is no unanimity as to which right is natural and which is not, the widely held view is that nature endows every human (without any distinction of time or space, and without any regard to age, gender, nationality, or race) with certain inalienable rights (such as the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness) which cannot be abrogated or interfered with by any government. And that, whether or not these rights are enshrined in a national legal code, no government is lawful if it fails to upholds them. Usage Example Natural rights arent necessarily contingent on government laws, but more so on cultural beliefs and customs.
