Natural rights
Natural rights (also called human rights) are universal rights that are seen as inherent in the nature of people, and not contingent on human actions or beliefs. One theory of natural rights was developed from the theory of natural law during the Enlightenment in opposition to the divine right of kings, and provided a moral justification for liberalism.
