There are no rights for people when they have a Dictatorship or tyranny.
The common law of the past based on judges' decisions is referred to as case law. This forms the basis for legal principles and precedents in common law legal systems.
In anarchy, decisions are typically made through consensus among individuals or groups. There is no centralized authority to enforce decisions, so they rely on voluntary cooperation and mutual agreement. Direct democracy, where decisions are made collectively by those affected, is also common in anarchist societies.
Typically, one person or a small group of people in the government would make the decisions.
Good question. Killing is not wrong. Killing without justification is perhaps wrong. Any government has a duty to protect its citizens. That duty often is onerous. Decisions have to be made. Some of which we may all not agree with. A decision was made, by duly appointed people, that killing Osama bin Laden would be for the common good. It was therefore carried out by the will of the people. It may have been wrong to do so.
