John Locke on the phone: Good morning, Karl. How are you? I hope all is well. Karl Marx on the phone: Hello John, all is well thank you for asking. How is everything with you? John: There has actually been something on my mind that has been troubling me lately. Since you have asked, the state of the government and the way the system is operating currently has been a concern to me and I have been thinking that you and I could discuss this in a little bit more depth and detail. What do you say? Karl: Well John I would be more then delighted to talk with you about this. I personally have some ideas about this and think that us having a talk would be an excellent idea. John: I am very happy that you said that. I had a hunch that you would have one idea or another to …show more content…
Along with taking the power from the owners, property needs to be more easily available to the people. Property is fundamental and if an individual has the means to get land the deserve it. Also, the people the government look over deserve equality. Additionally, they deserve a government that will provide citizens with certain rights they all deserve. Karl: That is a good point John. We both are well aware there is an unbalance in the government and the power is not being distributed fairly. But, what exactly do you mean when you say that people deserve certain rights, what rights do the citizens deserve to have? John: Im glad you asked. There are three rights that every citizen should be entitled to and they are called natural rights. The natural rights are life, liberty and the right to own personal property. Like you said property is important. The government should operate solely to provide citizens with the rights that they deserve. Karl: I do agree with you that all people should be given theses natural rights. But, the biggest problem is that the government is out of control and needs to be tamed. How can we make them provide people with the rights they
”What John means by this is that he has known
Everyone is born with these three inalienable rights and no one should be able to take these rights away from them. These three rights are the reason for people’s happiness in life. According to the Declaration of Independence, it had stated, “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights” (Doc B). Everyone is born equally with the same three basic rights that can't be taken away. This ideal is greatly valued because it allows everyone to live their life, the way they would like to while still following the laws.
Every person has a standard set of rights to protect them, regardless of social rank, ethnicity, economic standards, and gender. Although, rights may need to change as people and society evolve. The most important rights will be kept intact, but bendable ones will be bended for the benefit of American citizens. This, again, is an example of a living, breathing
. The human rights of people need to be balanced against the rights of others.
The opportunities people are given allows the great people of our country to do and change what happens throughout our population. We can inspire people of make thing, to change things, and to become inspired for our country. These rights are unalienable rights, the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. (Doc B) We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
One our right is the freedom to carry firearms but our government is taking that right away from people because of the actions of other people that abused their rights.
Over the course of history our Nation’s goal has been to achieve “The Vision of a free society” which is expressed in the Declaration of Independence but I don't think we’ve gotten to this goal quite yet. America has achieved a lot of great things such as the Amendments and so on but there are little things that helped move the process along. Our natural rights is an example, the right of seeking ‘life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness’ are all things that we are entitled to and no one should ever be able to take it away. Our government has actually been changed when someone has believed that they were not represented by the United States of America with unfair rights.
Rights assured to all men, regardless of creed, provide a standard of existence while simultaneously giving purpose to governance. Natural rights provide the foundation for the institution of government: the protection of these rights for
When observing the government of this nation, there is one undeniable truth: the government’s primary purpose is for the safety and maintenance of its people. According to Morris I. Leibman in his article “Civil Disobedience: A Threat to Our Law Society”, the demand for equality cannot be converted into a fight for superiority. We must all learn to be equal under the law, and in order for this equality to reach its acme, we must learn to accept the policies that our government sets before us. In fact, as stated by
In effect, the 318 million of people in the US all have rights that were all born with to allow us to do, to be, or to have anything. Our rights protect not only us but the people who are surrounded by us. For example, our rights protect us from any harm, danger, and trouble coming from anyone. As anyone
As Americans, we are taught that we have our basic rights from the time we first go to school. Over time, we have been given more rights than in the past. In simpler terms, we have more rights today than we did yesterday, and we will have more rights tomorrow than we have today. In the world, there has been many events that have helped or hindered the impact of our rights. Life first begins with our civil rights and liberties. As our civil rights and liberties are publicized and opinionized on media, the public begins to have a perception of certain government agency’s actions. Then, on a higher level we also should remember people’s political stance and what values and/or morals they hold. How Americans are given their rights is an ongoing debate; however, there are no rights and wrongs just consequences that follow each action.
Every day we go on with our lives, doing the same routine, without even Realizing the Rights we have as citizens. we don’t understand how lucky we are to have the freedom that we do now. what if we woke up tomoRRow and all of these Rights were gone? we would have no idea what to do - only then we’d wish to have our old lives and cry over how fortunate we weRe.
In the course of Mother nature, human events have affected our world we live in today. Our world today is created by a mixture of Monarchy and Dictatorship made by man. This government that we live in today is a man based system that has brought major factors to our nation. This system is suppose to support and help the citizens in their country, but consider to help themselves. Some nobles think about to help others, but give us very little that barely gets us by. It has been said by the people who wrote this document that all are equal and should keep a balance of peace and tranquility. There's a lot of things this government has not allowed their citizens to do some things may have to do with life or death situations.
In order to answer the question “Can we have too many rights?” There are many things that we must consider, first we must be able to define exactly what rights are, how they work and what they do for citizens and then further into Political and civil rights in the same way as both are essential to the structure of a democracy and play very important roles in enabling citizens to take part in politics and help structure their democracy into something that is for the better. We will also closely examine Robert Dahl, Democracy and its Critics, by first going into a brief description of his opinions in chapters 12 and 13 relating to democracy and how rights affect it. Finally we will deconstruct that argument and find the weaknesses and strengths of his said opinion and come to a conclusion to our original question “Can we have too many rights”
Thus, if we cannot have faith in the Human Rights ideology, to the point of believing it is justified in creating a law which it can ignore when its goals are not being met elsewhere, we might want to turn instead to the Basic Needs approach. The Basic Needs approach does not rely on legal processes in the achievement of its goals which are to provide everyone with a basic level of subsistence, so that no one starves and all are capable of being productive members of society (Spalding 1990, p.91). However, this approach is also not without its faults. For when it comes to the distribution of basic goods, the individual
