Natural rights are those defined beautifully in the Declaration of Independence:"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men ... are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights." Legal rights are the privileges given to citizens by their governments.
Natural law and natural rights follow from the nature of man and the world. We have the right to defend ourselves and our property, because of the kind of animals that we are. True law derives from this right, not from the arbitrary power of the omnipotent state. Natural law has objective, external existence.
