Rights are variously construed as legal, social, or moral freedoms to act or refrain from acting, or entitlements to be acted upon or not acted upon. While the concept is fundamental to civilized societies, there is considerable disagreement about what is meant precisely by the term rights. It has been used by different groups and thinkers for different purposes, with different and sometimes opposing definitions, and the precise definition of the concept, beyond having something to do with normative rules of some sort or another, is controversial. Nevertheless, the concept of rights is of vital importance in such disciplines as law and ethics, especially theories of justice and deontology.

A. I'm assuming that by a "contractual employee" you're meaning a contractor. There are probably very little "labor rights" for a contractor employee. I think there are the basic federal rights - but you don't qualify for things like health care, probably don't get time off, vacation time, sick time, things like that. Many times a business will hire people as contractors when they just don't want to give them the benefits. If your work as a contractor is soley for this specific business - you probably meet the legal definition for employee - however, I don't think you're going to be able to force the company to switch you to an employee. I suppose you could report them to the IRS - but they'd probably just fire you if they found out it… [cont.]

How are rights different than privileges provided by the government?
Q. Aren't they both created by government? What rights do we have that DON'T come from government? "google the word 'inalienable' then re-read the constitution." Where is inalienable in the constitution? Is there a right to happiness anywhere? Am I obligated to make everyone happy because they all have that right?

How would you defend inalienable rights to an atheist?

A. It does not matter what you believe in religion wise- it's the simple thought of this Do you believe people can think for themselves? If so, one should receive unalienable rights, and as long as one is not hurting others- why not?

Rights are entitlements or permissions, usually of a legal or moral nature. Rights are of vital importance in the fields of law and ethics, especially theories of justice and deontology.

Natural Rights

Natural rights are inherent choices found by some philosophers to exist logically for each individual, whether they are protected, or infringed, by society, government, or other social interaction.

  • People are usually surprised to discover that I hate the phrase "constitutional rights." I hate the phrase because it is terribly misleading. Most of the people who say it or hear it have the impression that the Constitution "grants" them their rights. Nothing could be further from the truth. Strictly speaking it is the Bill of Rights that enumerates our rights, but none of our founding documents bestow anything on you at all [...] The government can burn the Constitution and shred the Bill of Rights, but those actions wouldn't have the slightest effect on the rights you've always had.
