Can someone plea help me change up the words in this I will give a medal
. I think that Rights are not absolute because they can come into conflict. My right to life, for example, can come into conflict with your right to life, if I happen to try to kill you. If you resist my attempt to murder you with lethal force, my heirs cannot sue you for violating my right to life. Less dramatically, if you restrain me, I cannot sue you for loss of my right to liberty. The Constitution enumerates the rights of individuals, but it doesn't say a lot of about the limits on those rights, except to throw in an adjective like "reasonable" here and there, to make it clear the rights are not to be taken to absurd extremes. Most of the explicit and detailed reasoning on how the rights of individuals are limited has come from Supreme Court decisions over the years. That process is still going on, as more and more odd examples where lines need to be drawn come to the Court's attention
I think that Human Rights are not absolute. They can come into conflict with your right to life or my own. If I happen to try and kill and you resist my attempt of murder with lethal force, my heirs cannot sue you for violating my right to life. On a lighter note, if you restrain me, I cannot sue you for loss of my right to liberty. The Constitution enumerates the rights of individuals but it does not say much about the limits on said rights unless it involves being what they would consider to be "reasonable" to try and make the rights sound more appealing and less absurd. Most of the explicit and detailed reasoning on how the rights of individuals may be limited has been taken from the Supreme Court decisions made throughout the years.The previously mentioned process is still going on, as more and more examples come about on where the line needs to be drawn.
