Natural rights are things which are inherent to the human person, in isolation and within his natural state:

life, property, expression.

Most other things that we call "rights" are actually privileges granted to us by other people, such as those in government.

Or mostly services to be rendered or not at other people's discretion.

"life, property and liberty" was John Locke's thing wasn't it? 🤔

Probably. I've read so much that I'm mostly quoting all day.
