It's an interesting question, I'll admit that.

Rights are the things we are permitted to do, thus in order to have rights one must also have rules outlining in what regards we do not have rights. So, rights involve a duality, rights cannot exist without restrictions on freedom.

So, is it possible to have no restrictions on freedom, (rights without rules)?

Yes, sure, it's possible. But I'm not certain it's sustainable for an animal that is dependent on social constructs as a survival mechanism to avoid extinction without some rules of social interaction, whether those rules are enforced by an external power (government), or an internal control, (morals).

We all have rules, a construct of what parameters we may act within given any situation. These may or may not match what "rights" are granted to us by an external control, but they exist and do so for a reason. We are social creatures and in order to be effective as such there must be rules of social engagement, (the social contract).
