According to Bentham, … a) … every person has a natural right to life, liberty, and property. b) … every person has an unalienab
le natural right to life, liberty, and property. c) … the idea of natural rights is essential to understanding the idea of social justice and moral rightness. d) … the idea of natural rights does not make sense. e) … the idea of natural rights is central to utilitarianism.
Jeremy Bentham was a philosopher, jurist and founder of modern utilitarianism. According to Bentham, natural rights are non sense on stilts.
He perceived natural rights, rhetorically non-sense. According to Bentham, rights are the results of the laws. He asserted that no rights exists without laws and apart from laws there are no rights, therefore, natural rights are <em>'non-sense upon stilts.'</em>
