Question

The individual rights were the first amendments added to the constitution. Why are the important? How have you used some of your individual rights recently?

Answer 1

EXPLANATION:

Imagine a world in which you can not own land, or even a weapon to defend yourself and your family. You couldn't vote in elections for the candidate of your choosing, you couldn't speak freely without prosecution and you couldn't practice the religion that you chose. Consider that at any time without a search warrant you could have your house raided by law enforcement or be exposed to cruel and unusual punishment for committing a crime.

In a world like this you wouldn't have individual rights. The United States was built on principles of democracy, and individual rights coincided with the principles of democracy. Democracy can be defined as having formal rights and privileges equality for all within society. In the 1700s the founding fathers incorporated these principles of democracy in the Constitution, and they continue to exist to this day.

Your individual rights grant those freedoms individual rights without the need for statutory or other individual interference. Those rights are taken from the Bill of Rights in our United States Constitution. The Bill of Rights includes the first ten amendments to the Constitution. The first ten changes stipulate the individual rights. These are open to everyone within the U.S. boundaries.

Human rights also guarantee the means necessary for people to meet their basic needs, such as food, housing, and education, so that they can take full advantage of every opportunity. Eventually, human rights protect people from violence by those who are more dominant by ensuring life, independence, equality and security.

Rights are important, since injustice and discord are bad for everyone in society. Lots of studies have shown that inequality leads to more violence, more unhappiness and less overall productivity. Yet rights in abstract are not valid, they are accepted by culture-they are a type of myth, as Yuval Noah Harari puts it in Sapiens.

The other problem with rights is that they often get into conflict. Edmund Burke wrote: "The basic rights of men are refracted and expressed in so many ways in the vast and complicated mass of human desires and interests, that it becomes ludicrous to talk of them as if they persisted in the simplicity of their original direction." The more rights we have, the more difficult it becomes to pass judgment

For example, consider the question of whether trans people should be permitted to use their preferred changing room. This is a classic example of where two rights come into conflict: a person's right to express his or her own identity (essentially, freedom of speech) and another person's right not to be confronted by a naked body with which they are uncomfortable (freedom from fear). The notion of rights as inherent and permanent breaks down in those situations and we have to accept that they are always up for negotiation.

Our basic individual rights include:

• Right to live
• Right to freedom
• Right to pursue my goals and dreams
• Right to think, to speak, to work
• Right to seek happiness
• Right to privacy
• Right to follow or not a religion
• Right to protect myself or family
