Answer:

What follows is a bill of indictment. Several of these items end up in the Bill of Rights. Others are addressed by the form of the government established—first by the Articles of Confederation, and ultimately by the Constitution.

The assumption of natural rights expressed in the Declaration of Independence can be summed up by the following proposition: “First comes rights, then comes government.” According to this view: (1) the rights of individuals do not originate with any government, but preexist its formation; (2) the protection of these rights is the first duty of government; and (3) even after government is formed, these rights provide a standard by which its performance is measured and, in extreme cases, its systemic failure to protect rights—or its systematic violation of rights—can justify its alteration or abolition; (4) at least some of these rights are so fundamental that they are “inalienable,” meaning they are so intimately connected to one’s nature as a human being that they cannot be transferred to another even if one consents to do so. This is powerful stuff.

At the Founding, these ideas were considered so true as to be self-evident. However, today the idea of natural rights is obscure and controversial. Oftentimes, when the idea comes up, it is deemed to be archaic. Moreover, the discussion by many of natural rights, as reflected in the Declaration’s claim that such rights “are endowed by their Creator,” leads many to characterize natural rights as religiously based rather than secular. As I explain in The Structure of Liberty: Justice and the Rule of Law, I believe his is a mistake.

Perhaps the most single valuable authority you have as president in this way is to issue an executive order, which can commit troops to a conflict for a limited about of time without Congressional approval. Tools of foreign policy would include sending in diplomats to try to negotiate peaceful terms.

Answer:

They were not equal.

Explanation:

In the feudal system people had different roles and obligations.

Nobles received land from their seniors (rulers) and were controlling it, taking care of the land and providing taxes.

Knights were serving to the lords, had the obligation to go to war when called upon...

Peasants had smallest rights. They were working on the land of nobles (manors) and sometimes were not even able to leave the land without permission. They received only small part of the crops they planted.
