Html – How to horizantally align these checkboxes?

I am trying to horizontal and vertical align these radios/checkboxes also I want the text to be in the left side of them. I tried some things like inline and block but I am fairly beginner and trying to learn.
HERE is the HTML and CSS code for my small project.

.container {
  width: 100%;
  margin: 3.125rem auto 0 auto;
}

body {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  background: #1b1b32;
  color: white;
  font-family: Consolas, serif;
  font-size: 17px;
}

h1,
p {
  margin: 20px auto;
  text-align: center;
}

form {
  margin: 0 auto;
  width: 600px;
  max-width: 1000px;
  min-width: 300px;
  padding-bottom: 2em;
  padding-top: 1em;
  background-blend-mode: color;
}

fieldset {
  margin: auto;
  padding: 20px;
  border-radius: 30px;
  border-color: #6b6b8d;
}

label {
  display: block;
  margin: auto;
  text-align: left;
  font-size: 16px;
  padding-bottom: 10px;
  width: 100%;
}

input,
textarea,
select {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  width: 100%;
  min-height: 30px;
  margin: 10px 0 0 0;
  border-radius: 20px;
  border: 1px solid #0a0a23;
  background-color: #0a0a23;
  color: #ffffff;
  text-indent: 5px;
}

.input-radio,
.input-checkbox {
  display: block;
  margin: auto;
  min-height: 1.25rem;
  min-width: 1.25rem;
}

.inline-field {
  display: inline;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  /* I added this after I posted my reply */
  vertical-align: middle;
  /* Fixes any weird issues in Firefox and IE */
}

.input-textarea {
  display: block;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  height: 120px;
  text-indent: 5px;
}

.submit-button {
  display: block;
  width: 50%;
  margin: 1em auto;
  height: 30px;
  font-size: 1.1rem;
  background-color: #3b3b4f;
  border-radius: 20px;
  border-color: #6b6b8d;
  min-width: 300px;
}

    You can create rows using flexbox. Below is an example:

    HTML:

    <div class="input flex row">
    <input type="checkbox">
    <label>Label</label>
</div>

    CSS:

    .input {
    position: relative;
    width: 200px;
    height: 50px;
}

.flex.row {
    display: flex;
    flex-flow: row;
    justify-content: space-between;
    align-items: center;
}

    Small improvement proposal to your inital code.

    I would advise you to go through the ‘flex’ layout concept (https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/) to handle your placement more easily 🙂

    body {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  background: #1b1b32;
  color: white;
  font-family: Consolas, serif;
  font-size: 17px;
}

.container {
  width: 100%;
  margin: 3.125rem auto 0 auto;
}

h1,
p {
  margin: 20px auto;
  text-align: center;
}

form {
  margin: 0 auto;
  width: 600px;
  max-width: 1000px;
  min-width: 300px;
  padding-bottom: 2em;
  padding-top: 1em;
  background-blend-mode: color;
  
}

fieldset {
  margin: auto;
  padding: 20px;
  border-radius: 30px;
  border-color: #6b6b8d;
}

label {
  display: block;
  font-size: 16px;
}

input,
textarea,
select {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  min-height: 30px;
  border-radius: 20px;
  border: 1px solid #0a0a23;
  background-color: #0a0a23;
  color: #ffffff;
  text-indent: 5px;
  text-align: left;
}

.input-group + .input-group {
  margin-top: 0.5rem;
}

.input-group-v label {
  margin-bottom: 10px;
}

.input-group-v input,
.input-group-v textarea,
.input-group-v select {
  width: 100%;
}

.input-group-h {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  padding: 0.5rem 0;
}

.input-group-h label {
  width: 200px;
}
.input-group-h label.small {
  width: 50px;
}
.input-group-h .input-checkbox + label {
  margin-left: 10px;
}
.input-radio,
.input-checkbox {
  display: block;
  min-height: 1.25rem;
  min-width: 1.25rem;

.input-textarea {

.submit-button {

    To ensure alignment in both the horizontal and vertical axes, use a grid to lay out your checkboxes.

    .container {
  width: 100%;
