your constitution and mine are different however generally we share some similar values.
perhaps we agree that people possess an inherent worth, value and dignity as a starting point.
my view of 'rights' translates into people ought to treat others, and ought to be treated with respect and value. it is about recognition and reassurance of worth, entitlement and lays out remedies for maltreatment.
talk of rights can be symbolic and used as a political slogan, and i am at times suspicious of the ways the word is used.
the area of creator as host ie., creator has given us our rights as a gift is an area of belief, and as such shall remain personal.
having the right and being given the right are two very different matters.. getting rights and having rights, fighting for one's rights, these are absolutely things that are worth exploring. however all these things are hard to nail down ie., systems being fluid, and being that laws and leadership and resources and many things are ever changing. thinking about the bulk of our ideas about rights it should be said that the conformity + observance should not be confused with the content for when that happens there is potential for 'spin' overruling fact.
i find it interesting that the majority of legal codes of human rights has been written only in the last few decades. efforts to clarify legal rights and ideas of common decency are on-going. again, systems are made by people and these systems are regularly being changed, more of that fluid formless stuff that seems impossible to avoid. whether individual political popularity tests are more important to snipe about than to discuss the greater truths, now that is another subject for another time.
