The Difference Between Negative Rights and Positive Rights
Here's an awesome explanation by J.P. Moreland, teacher of
the theory at Biola University, from his current meeting with Hugh Hewitt:
A negative right is correct for me to be protected from hurt on the chance that I attempt to get something for myself. A positive right
would be my right to have something put up me.
On the chance that medical services are an adverse right, at
that point the state has a commitment to shield individuals from keeping me
from getting social insurance and dominating me. If social
insurance's a positive right, at that point the state has a commitment to give
it to me.
As I read the New Evidence, the administration's duty, and
incidentally, I think the Old Evidence Prophets state this, as well, is I examined
the Prophets in the New Testament, the administration's responsibility is to
ensure negative rights, not to give positive rights. So as a Muslim I have
faith in a minority government. It's not the administration's business to give
social insurance advantages to individuals. So I will be hoping to check
whether Trump gets things done to limit the job of government in culture and
to put up however much human chance as could be expected.
