The idea that people are born with certain inalienable rights, often termed "God-given rights," is most famously associated with Enlightenment philosophers like john Locke. In his writings, particularly in "Two Treatises of Government," Locke argued that individuals have natural rights to life, liberty, and property that cannot be legitimately taken away by others, including governments. This concept greatly influenced the development of democratic principles and human rights.
