Refer to Source A
1.1. Natural rights, as understood by John Locke, refer to inherent rights that
every individual possesses simply by virtue of being human. These rights are
not granted by governments or societies but are rather derived from nature itself.
They include rights such as life, liberty, and property, and they are inviolable
and inalienable.
1.2. The role of the civil state in society, according to John Locke, is to serve
as a mechanism for protecting the natural rights of individuals. It is established
through a social contract where people willingly surrender some of their natural
rights in exchange for protection and security. The civil state is responsible for
enacting laws, maintaining order, and providing a framework within which
individuals can exercise their rights without infringing upon the rights of others.
