The answer is option 2: The idea that people are born with rights that no government can take away.

The natural law is the idea that all humans beings are born with certain inalienable and universal rights (the right to freedom, life, privacy, education, etc.), regardless of their status, nationality, location, language, religion, ethnic origin and their acceptance of these rights. Furthermore, it holds that those rights are given by nature or a transcendent source.
