Is the State the Source of Human Rights?


Is the state the source of human rights?  No, the state isn’t the source of human rights because they don’t know what’s best for the people.  Imagine that you just met a person and only after like a day of knowing them they ask if they can rule your life.  Would you say yes?  Most likely not!  Unfortunately though, that’s how we treat the state.  Our hour of knowing them is the presidential debates/campaigns we watch!  But magically we somehow expect them to be mind readers and do everything that we want and need.  The worst politicians are the power hungry people who run for office because they want control of everyone.  They get on your good side in their campaigns and say that they only want what’s best for the people when in reality, once they’re in office, they throw all of their staged morals out the window.  Our problem is that even though we have many politicians like this, we still want the state to have total control over our rights.  In conclusion, if we just stopped giving the state control over our rights, then, we wouldn’t have to worry about complete, power hungry, strangers taking away our rights and destroying our morals.
