The Founders of the United States believed that people have certain natural rights.

Natural rightsinclude the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness or property.

All persons have natural rights just

because they are human

beings.

Everyone is born with these rights. No one can take these rights away.

These natural rights are also called basic principles held by American citizens.
