John Locke, a philosopher, sorted rights as conceptualized rights as natural and inalienable.

He considered life, liberty, and property to be natural rights.

Life: because everyone is entitled to live.

Liberty: because all of us are entitled to our own freedom, as long as we do not contradict the first right.

Property: We all are entitled to what we make or create, as long as we do not contradict the first and second rights.

Locke saw the government as social revokable contract that provides protective services to the citizens. If there is no more consent of the governed people, it might  be withdrawn.
