Answer 1

The concept of "natural rights" primarily involves:

a. reasoning why people might create a government in the first place

Natural rights refer to the fundamental rights and freedoms inherent to all individuals, which justify the creation of a government to protect those rights. They are often associated with Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke, who argued that the protection of these rights (such as life, liberty, and property) is the primary purpose of government.
