Cmv: all rights, including so called natural rights are human constructs:
I often read people talking about the idea of natural rights which are universal and inalienable. I contend such rights are simply constructs, and have no basis beyond any other construct humanity has created.

While there can be some appeal to human nature, nearly all universal behaviour that could be classified as rights only apply to the "in-group" and certainly none seem to apply to humanity as a whole. The extension of rights to cover everyone a construct, and not part of fundamental human nature. This is why law exists in general. It's an extension of tribal self-rule for larger groups.

There is certainly nothing about the nature of reality that causes rights to exist. I'd like to hear some good arguments as to why rights are not constructs.
