Yes, as far as the U.S. is concerned, natural law exists. The Laws of Nature are right there in the first sentence of the Declaration of Independence. English-Chinese The second and most famous sentence provides a perfect definition of natural law: human beings are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, including Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. English-Chinese Where do these rights come from? Some may have trouble with the concept of a divine creator. Others may find it overly metaphysical to insist that every human being has these rights in a world where most people are patently unfree to exercise them. English-Chinese But few can doubt that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are what a civilized society ought to strive to provide its members. As the Declaration says, that is the reason Governments are instituted It is self-evident. Thats good enough for me.
