I AM A C/B STUDENT, PAPER MUST BE AT A B or C GRADE LEVEL. USE ONLY THE THREE ARTICLES AS SOURCES, NOTHING ELSE
In the three assigned articles the authors cover the conceptualization and application of natural law and natural rights. Brian Tierney, examines the relationship between natural law and natural rights and wonders whether the two concepts are logically incompatible with one another, or whether natural rights were derived from natural law. Eduardo A. Velasquezs article looks at the application of natural rights with the founding of the
American Republic through the works of James Wilson one of the least known of the Founding Fathers of the Republic and his modern liberal principles and natural law
teachings. Finally, Randy E. Barnett considers the legal application of natural rights in todays world identifying not only its intellectual construct but also how they are used by individuals in the pursuit of their objectives.
