Natural Law Institute Proceedings
From the Introduction
The papers read at the 1950 Convocation of the Institute and reprinted in this volume were concerned with certain "rights" which we Americans call "fundamental:"
- the right to liberty
- the right to property
- the right to freedom of expression
- the right to pursue happiness
Does the Natural Law as the source of human rights offer a true and solid explanation of what men really mean when they call such rights "fundamental"? This was the central theme of the 1950 sessions.
