Summary

Individual rights refer to the fundamental entitlements and freedoms that every person possesses by virtue of their humanity. This quote suggests that these rights are not only important for safeguarding individuals' autonomy and well-being, but they also serve a broader purpose. By enshrining individual rights, society is bound to a moral framework that guides and limits its actions. These rights act as a tool to ensure that society does not trample on the principles of justice, fairness, and human dignity, fostering a society that aligns with ethical norms and values. In this way, individual rights help maintain a more just and morally conscious society.
