Answer to Question 1

The compact theory is a theory of individual liberties that considers liberties to be the product of a negotiated contract. Under this approach, rights are derived from an agreement or compact between the individuals being protected and those individuals or institutions providing the protection. Through negotiation, individuals and institutions receive rights, powers, and protections by virtue of compact or constitution. The natural rights theory is a theory of individual liberties that maintains that liberties are the result of the laws of nature. This theory recognizes life itself as the source of certain individual rights, which exist independent of any constitution or contract. Natural rights theory insists that the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights are natural, inherent, and unalienable to individuals.
