Rational people can disagree over what rights a person may have. Additionally, some rights come directly into conflict. The Right to Free Speech directly goes against the Right of Reputation. Absolute Property Rights directly go against Welfare Rights. Finally, like all natural sciences that came out of the Enlightenment, they need to be refined and reexamined. Unlike religious law, they are not to be accepted as they are immediately.
