UPDATED: (9-8-2003) - Chapter One has been posted to Defining Freedom. Rather a short chapter, but there you go.
Politicians talk about the rights of the people, the rights of government, states' rights, human rights, equal rights, civil rights... but what do they actually mean? This work is my entry into the realm of philosophy, describing the differences between various types of rights, how they work, and where they fail.
