Do our rights come from government? Each other? Or is there a higher source? This video examines the philosophers and learned men of history and government of the founding era, the sources of their views, the validity of the concepts the founders embraced. This first part of the two part series examines history and authority for their belief in "Natural Rights" and "Natural Law." Striking statements from many of the authorities writings and the founders themselves, may cause you to re-frame your own liberty in a different light.
