The idea of basic fundamental rights did not start with Jefferson. They did not start with the people he was influenced by. They did not even start with the Greeks. It is something as old as nature, as old as evolution. Apes - gorillas and chimps - have a sense of right and wrong, and their own ways of punishing those who are too vicious or do not share. The strongest silverback sets the rules, but he also protects those under his care. He instinctively defends them againt all comers. In extreme cases of failure on his part, either another big male, or all the females kick his ass and exile him, and a new “king” takes over. Many other animals do the same. Recent research into brainwave activity suggests that a sense of right and wrong, a sense of justice is hardwired into us. It is an instinctual feeling that certain things simply should be. All civilization did, was to put these basic things into words.
As far as the rights of nobles, that started with your basic local warlord and peasants, and it was a contract. You are farmers, I have men and weapons. You “pay a tax” of food every season, and I protect you against robbers and invaders. It was not until the local lords had consolidated all the power and got full of themselves that they got the idea that they held all the cards. But even then, there was the idea of noblesse oblige. The more intelligent nobles recognized that in return for their privilege, they owed something back. There was also Common Law, which had nothing to do with any edicts by Harry Up In The Big Castle.
But those things are voluntary. Remember now, you own your consent. You therefore have a right to waive all or part of your consent.
But that is not voluntary. Perhaps some consent, but perhaps some do not. The State was not born with a body or a mind. It therefore has no rights. If you are going to examine my philosophy, then examine it with its own principles, not the principles of authoritarianism.
