Legal Rights Vs Natural Rights

Natural law and legal rights have always changed through the ages. These humanistic laws have always altered because of people’s religions and even their government’s influence on their society has always affected men and women’s lives. Mankind has always had to face the problem with having their natural rights, and legal rights tampered with. Religious cults and organizations have restricted people from communicating with people outside their religion. Governments like North Korea and China do not have natural rights and people in North Korea don’t even have legal rights. Now natural rights are a god given right that every person deserves. The definition of natural right is, “a political theory that individuals have basic rights
The definition of legal rights is, “a claim recognized and delimited by law for the purpose of securing it.” For example, in the Bill of Rights, it states that a man or woman is innocent until proven guilty of the crime they had committed.

Now from reading this short amount of text, it’s clear to see that France was also lead by a tyrannical king that went by the name of Louis XIV. He forbade the freedom of religion a God-given right for all of the mankind. Now in today’s response, we can give cults and Communist countries as excellent examples. Now a cult that affects people natural rights is Scientology. Scientologist’s are against people who like people of the same gender and they hate all people who are not in their religion. It is banned for them to talk to someone who is not in their cult. They have affected and destroyed people’s natural lives. They have destroyed their pursuit of happiness and their freedom of speech. North Korea also imposes the same things. It is by law that all people have the same kinds of mandatory haircuts and wear clothes that represent their regions. Region, factions, kind of sounds like Hunger Games doesn’t it! Now here is an
