How to create a meaningful Blockchain Constitution

Then the root of the issue is the definition of right. And without agreement on the definition any derivative logic is wasted effort. Heading over to google we come up with:

Right - that which is morally correct, just, or honorable, a moral or legal entitlement to have or obtain something or act in a certain way.

So we have two aspects, that which is morally correct and that which is a legal entitlement. You could say that something you receive by voluntary contract is both morally right and also recognized as a legal entitlement.

From this perspective, a right is granted by contract because the consent makes it morally correct.

Rights not derived from contract necessarily conflict with other rights.

There cannot be a logical contradiction in rights or you will get unresolvable disputes that revert to law of the jungle.
