I'm going to assume that by "reason" you mean a rational ground, motive or explanation or logical defense that supports a conclusion or explains a fact or coinsurance; or the rational that makes some fact intelligible.

Reason can be a slippery item, since people will often invent a rational to support their conclusions. For example, look at the classic examples of "reason" for racial discrimination.

Last, "rights" can also be a slippery concept. "Rights" can be anything the opinionated person states are "their right." Again, as an example, look to the facetious "right" to own slaves.

So, reason can be a principled rational asserting a right (or undercutting a perceived right), a construct to justify a closely held belief (thus putting the cart before the horse), or a justification establishing a "right" to which no right previously existed (creating a right out of thin air).

In any event, "reason" defends or explains peoples' belief in the existence (or nonexistence) of a right, or is a rational to create a new right.

Reason is not always reasonable!
