The term social rights is sometimes used to distinguish those rights arising from the social contract, in contrast to natural rights which arise from the natural law, but before the establishment of legal rights by positive law. For example, James Madison explained that a right such as trial by jury arose neither from nature nor from a constitution of government, but from the social compact.[1]
