Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Natural rights are rights you have just from being a person. They can also be thought of as universal rights, basic rights, or even unalienable rights, as seen in the Declaration of Independence. They wanted to have their rights such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness available to them, but such heavy rule and taxation from England, this was especially difficult. The Pilgrims and Puritans fled from England because they disagreed with the Church of England, which was being heavily pushed at the time. In America, they did not wanting the country they fled due to religious to be ruling over them and threatening their natural right to be free to choose whatever religion they wanted. These things and many more led them to move towards revolution.

Have a wonderful day! :D
