On the subject of natural rights.
If you believe that people aren't born with certain rights than you believe they can never have rights. Because if nobody is born with rights who can give them rights? A government is nothing more than a collection of individuals and if those individuals don't have rights separately, how can they have them when they are together?
The answer is simple. Government has no rights, nor does "society". Government has specific and limited powers given to it by individuals who do have rights and government has no powers beyond the rights of individuals.
