People through out history have been willing to give up rights to kings and rulers. They didn’t know about or think about “rights” because they were told that rulers were chosen by God. It isn’t until the Enlightenment that the idea of “natural rights “ was introduced. In many countries in the 1900’s people still didn’t understand the concept of rights and were fine with an totalitarian dictatorship. There are countries today that are still governed by dictatorship and the United States may be headed that way.
Ideally, you should be willing to give up everything.
