> Positively affirming rights are passed, and often passed regularly. If a legislature (or government generally) can grant a "right", then it can take it away. That means it isn't a right, it's a privilege. Oh, what's that? The government responded to the Will of the People? So, the Will of the People can revoke that "right". OR, a group that you think is abhorrent could get a majority to declare whatever rights they want. I'm constantly astounded how many people confuse authoritarianism for liberalism.
