You can&#x27;t write a Constitution like the United States&#x27;, without natural rights. The most basic question in any government is &quot;who has the right to rule&quot;? The very first line of the Constitution establishes that it is the people who hold that right in the U.S., which means they have some sort of natural rights. If they didn&#x27;t, they couldn&#x27;t form a government in the first place, for lack of sovereignty.
