Rights, by definition exist outside of any law. They are yours because you exist.
Why?
- Rights exist on their own
- You exist on your own
- Rights are yours when you claim them, either directly by assertion or indirectly by respect
In what way was that not clear? Sorry I'm fighting a massive toothache, it's slowing me down.
I was asking for a why, not a restatement of assumptions.
Good luck with the toothache, hope it's fixable.
