Natural law is a philosophy that certain rights or values are inherent by virtue of human nature and universally cognizable through human reason.

Natural Law

The unwritten body of universal moral principles that underlie the ethical and legal norms by which human conduct is sometimes evaluated and governed. Natural law is often contrasted with positive law, which consists of the written rules and regulations enacted by government. The term natural law is derived from the Roman term jus naturale. Adherents to natural law philosophy are known as naturalists.

Naturalists believe that natural law principles are an inherent part of nature and exist regardless of whether government recognizes or enforces them. Naturalists further believe that governments must incorporate natural law principles into their legal systems before justice can be achieved.


So, do you recognize “Natural Law” within the Constitution of the United States of America?

Do you recognize that a child born within the borders of the US of US citizens is a Natural Born Citizen?


That should be the end of it. I know it won’t be, but it SHOULD be. What we have today are an enormous number of people no longer capable of cognizant reasoning.

These people will get the government they deserve, and it will commit genocide.

Certainly, within the structure of the judiciary and within the Bill of Rights, the framers adopted aspects of Natural Law. That doesn't mean they also intended to adopt all aspects of every competing theory of Natural Law. It is not a unified body of thought, and it's just not capable of answering most detailed questions. Once you get beyond "murder is wrong", "stealing is wrong", and "you can't be a judge in a case in which you have a vested interest", its usefulness is pretty limited.

Do you recognize that a child born within the borders of the US of US citizens is a Natural Born Citizen?

Maybe in common law, definitely in written law, but under which theory of natural law do you see it?
