From a western democratic perspective, natural rights are essential rights that cannot be taken away by any government of any kind. These rights were referred to in the Declaration of Independence as "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

The natural rights and the government relation can be seen by Locke’s argument: the purpose of government is to secure and protect the God-given undeniable natural rights of the people. The specific quote is Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Explanation:

Natural rights are rights that are essential for society and humanity. According to the concept “all humans are created equal”, there are three natural rights which are determined as universal. Those three rights are the right to life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness.  

Generally, basic human rights are based on universal natural law, different from those that are based on positive human-made law. Although there is no agreement about which rights are natural and which are not, the commonly held view is that nature blesses every human being (without differences in time or space, and regardless of gender, age, nationality, or race) with certain rights that cannot be revoked that cannot be canceled or disturbed by any government.

If these rights are preserved in the national legal code or not, there is no legitimate government if it fails to enforce them. We can learn the value of each natural right by seeing the description below:

1. life: this idea is focused on how every human has their rights to live their life.

2. liberty: this idea is focused on how every human has their right to be independent.

3. pursuit of happiness: this idea is focused on how every human has their rights to fulfill their desire.

By seeing each meaning, we can see that there must be a limit for every person who does not do something that may violate other people’s natural rights. Therefore, the government also has an important role in this term.

Socialism offers which advantages to its citizens? Select all that apply.
natta225 [31]

The correct answers are:

1) It sees all members of society as equal.

2) It makes most social services, like healthcare and guarantee of work available to all.

Socialism is a politcal system in which the government has significant control over citizens. This includes determing what resources each family/household receives. Even though it limits incentive for businesses, the goal is to ultimately ensure that all members of society are living somewhat equally. This is accomplished by government control of the means of production and important social services (like healthcare).

What were the first fossils found in antarctica? where and when were they found? worksheet answerrs?
Mila [183]
Antarctica, as we know it today, is located at the south pole. However, it was not always there or so cold! Around 500 million years ago, during the Cambrian period, Antarctica was actually closer during Earth's equator! Due to continental drift, Antarctica was attached to Australia and shifted more to the south during the time of the dinosaurs. The first fossils found were of marine reptiles called plesiosaurs. They were found on Seymour Island in 1982. The first dinosaur fossil found was of an ankylosaur. It was found on James Ross Island in 1986.
