Rights are useful and necessary for the individual, for the society and for the State. Their utility for the individual lies in the fact that they are the necessary conditions for the development of human personality. They help man to be his best self. They are the opportunities to express his will and develop his personality. Rights are indispensable for the moral growth of the individual. It is by means of the rights that he or she can realise the ends of his or her life.
Rights are also useful for the society. They promote the common good of all. Their utility consists in the enrichment of social life. When an individual develops his or her personality and ability the whole society gains from him. Rights, therefore, arise only in society. Without rights, society becomes a jungle, a world of animals, in which force or might prevails.
Rights are also useful for the State. A State is known, as Laski Huys, by the rights it maintains. Rights are claims recognised and protected by the State. They serve the ends, the State seeks to serve. A government lliat refuses to recognise rights becomes a tyranny. If a State refuses the c laim of rights, it loses the claim to allegiance. The more the State grants lights, the more its ends are realised.
