Natural rights and legal rights

Natural rights and legal rights are two ways for people to be protected and treated fairly. Natural rights are freedoms that all people have, no matter where they live, that cannot be taken away from them. Examples of natural rights are the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Legal rights are rights that are given to people by the government. These rights can be taken away if you break the law. For example, if you get caught speeding, you may lose the right to drive your car. In the US, legal rights include the right to join a union, the right to vote, and the right to a fair trial.
