There may be treatises and similar that expound on natural law, but those writings are not binding law, anywhere.

What do you mean?

Our Country is founded on the principle that our rights come from God and natural law.

Am I misinterpreting what you wrote?

Yes. But those principles aren't codified. You can't go into a courtroom and enforce rights based on natural law. The closest thing to that is common law, judge made law, and in that arena some of the decisions run astray of sound natural law.

All I was saying was that there is no "US Code of Natural Law." There is a US Code, and some of it tracks natural law (thou shalt not murder, for example).

There is a substantial volume of citizenship statute too, all around the world.
