Natural Law

When it comes to deciphering what natural law is, it should pop up  pretty quickly within our minds.

 By definition, it is "a  body of law or a specific principle held to be derived from nature and binding upon human society in the absence of or in addition to positive law". These laws or rights are in fact God-given and can not and/or should not be taking away from anyone. It is more-so a universal understanding that these laws are the highest and can not be altered in anyway.

I'd say an example of natural law would be comparing it to Newton's laws of physics. These laws are simply explaining why things occur the way that they do. They aren't changing any physic motions, it's simply reinforcing the reasons why things behave the way that they do. 

It's understood that what goes up must come down. By physics this can be explained by Newton's laws. Without physics however, it can be explained by using natural law.
