According to the Locke, natural rights are those rights that a person/ individual human being naturally have. These rights cannot be taken away. He explained that by birth every human being is equal and posses have some right and no one can take away his/her natural rights.

He further stated that natural rights are gift of God and thus no one has right to take away from an individual person. Right to life, Right to liberty and Right to property comes under the category of natural rights which every person has naturally.
