In punishment of a crime.
Man has a natural right of life, but we execute people.
In punishment of a crime.
People have a natural right to the "pursuit of happiness," but if driving at 150 mph is what makes you happy, you're going to have a hard time of it.
That is a crime.
The fact is the "natural rights"--a slippery term that tends to mean whatever one wants it to mean--are trumped by laws all the time.
I might agree if you could provide some examples.
For as long as every man holdeth this right, of doing anything he liketh; so long are all men in the condition of war.
Look up the "paradox of tolerance."
So there's a loophole in natural law that allows its violation? Ultimately, crime is a societal construct, and imprisonment for crime a violation of someone's natural right of liberty agreed upon by society in exchange for the benefits and protections of that society. In the State of Nature, nothing is a crime. It's the "Bellum omnium contra omens."
I might agree if you could provide some examples.
Why don't you start by naming exactly what our natural rights are.
