Which did the founders think was more important the common good or individual rights?
The Founders thought that the common good was more important than the individual rights because for example: If there were a bunch of people in the movie theater, and one person randomly yelled, "FIRE!," that would be for the individual rights, not the common good. Because what if somebody who heard that person yell "FIRE" spilled their drink and tripped on an ice cube, that would definitely not be good for the common good. PEACE, LOVE, and HAPPINESS!!!!!

What Rights of an individual vs overall society?
Individual rights are the inherent freedoms and liberties that each person possesses, such as freedom of speech, religion, and privacy. These rights are essential for protecting personal autonomy and dignity. On the other hand, societal rights are collective interests and values that promote the common good and well-being of the community, which may sometimes require limitations on individual rights to ensure public order and safety. Balancing individual rights with societal rights is a complex and ongoing process that involves weighing competing values and priorities to maintain a harmonious and just society.
