Federal judge in Hawaii halts Trump travel ban. President Trump's revised travel ban was put on hold Wednesday by a federal judge in Hawaii just hours before it was set to take effect after hearing arguments that the executive order discriminates on the basis of nationality.
Locke says individuals have a duty to respect the property (and lives and liberties) of others even in the state of nature, a duty he traces to natural law. Natural law and natural rights coexist, but natural law is primary, commanding respect for the rights of others.
Locke wrote that all individuals are equal in the sense that they are born with certain inalienable natural rights. That is, rights that are God-given and can never be taken or even given away. Among these fundamental natural rights, Locke said, are life, liberty, and property.. Locke believed that the most basic human law of nature is the preservation of mankind. To serve that purpose, he reasoned, individuals have both a right and a duty to preserve their own lives.
