This excellent video is accompanied by text and is suitable for high school students. "In the seventeenth century, philosopher John Locke wrote about natural law, which gives individuals rights that are part of the natural order of life rather than a...ssigned by a ruler. Thomas Jefferson incorporated this concept into the Declaration of Independence in an attempt to point out the abuses made by the British government and prevent similar offenses from occurring in an independent America. Jefferson wrote that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were among the unalienable rights granted to all humans. The Constitution would go further to define and provide protection for these unalienable rights."
