Natural Rights- rights, freedoms and privileges which are such a basic part of human nature
that they cannot be taken away.
Social Rights- An agreement among the members of an organized society or between the
governed and the government defining and limiting the rights and duties of each.
Right of Revolution- a right or duty, variously stated throughout history, possessed by
subjects of a state that justifies their action to overthrow the government to whom the subjects
otherwise would owe allegiance.
Popular Sovereignty- a doctrine in political theory that government is created by and subject
to the will of the people.
Self Determination- free choice of one’s own acts without external compulsion; and especially
as the freedom of the people of a given territory to determine their own political status.
I put these words in order because I feel that rights come first. Natural Rights are rights
that God has declared upon us and our are natural way of living freely. We should live with the
rights we had originally. The right we should have from our birth.
