The main difference between the Code of Justinian understanding of natural rights than Jefferson's understanding is that:
- The Code of Justinian gave all men and women natural rights, regardless of color or gender.
- On the other hand, Jefferson's understanding of natural rights is limited to White Men.
- This is evident as it takes many years after the declaration of Independence before the African Americans could gain full natural rights including freedom from enslavement and voters' rights.
- The Justinian Code was made in Byzantium around the middle of the 500s AD.
- The Declaration of Independence was made in 1776.
Hence, in this case, it is concluded that there is a fundamental difference between the Justinian Code's understanding of Natural rights and that of Jefferson.
