John Locke: All People Have A Natural Right To Property
John Locke (1632-1704) was an English political philosopher and is generally known for establishing the idea that people have a "natural right" to liberty and a "natural right" to private property.
A natural right to liberty implies that every human being has got an inherent right to exercise his will without any subordination or subjection within the constraints posed by nature as nature is the supreme authority but since it is a dangerous entity, individuals organised themselves into groups and defined power relationships to protect themselves. Thus, within the bounds of law, every human being has got liberty without harming other humans.
