Explanation : The existence of natural rights has been asserted by different individuals on different premises. Different philosophers and statesmen have designed different lists of what they believe to be natural rights; almost all include the right to life and liberty as the two highest priorities.

In his the Social Contract, Rousseau put forward the idea of an exchange of one type of freedom (natural freedom) for another type (civil freedom).
