Abstract

From the twelfth century onwards, medieval canon lawyers and, from the early fourteenth century, theologians and philosophers began to use ius to mean a right, and developed a theory of natural rights, the predecessor of modern theories of human rights. The main applications of this theory were in respect of property and government.
