The theory of rights enables us to rise and overthrow obstac

Summary

This quote suggests that while the theory of individual rights provides a foundation for people to challenge and remove obstacles, it does not guarantee the establishment of a harmonious and long-lasting unity among the different components of a nation. It implies that while rights can empower people to fight against injustices, they are not sufficient on their own to foster a truly cohesive and inclusive society. Building lasting social accord requires more than just individual rights; it necessitates a deeper understanding and tolerance among different groups within a nation.
