We Have the Right

To contrary belief, it seems as if most societies are democratic, even when a dictatorship prevails. Sooner or later, the people that are governed realize that they are unsatisfied, prompting revolutionary change as throughout history. As such, it's safe to say that we do have rights, but those rights are chosen by the society as a whole rather than meeting the benefits of a single person.

Another example is the prohibition era. Alcohol was prohibited by the full extent of the law, but sooner or later, the desires of the people rather than the government arose and alcohol soon became legal again. Sooner or later, the true rights to appear whether or not that is the present being.
