The philosophy of natural rights had depended on :
Ethical theory
The philosophy of natural rights holds that human beings possess rights such as life, liberty and property by virtue of being human, prior to and independent of the state.
This claim rested on an ethical theory – natural law – which taught that a rational moral order binds all persons and that reason can discover what is right. Grotius, Locke and later Paine derived natural rights from this moral foundation rather than from law or history.
Political self-consciousness and the revolutionary era (American 1776, French 1789) only expressed and spread the doctrine, while 'authority rationalism' is not its basis; natural rights were in fact used to limit authority.
Hence, the answer is Ethical theory.
