I'm curious to know the public perception -- where exactly are rights?
Rights are nothing more than a concept.
A simple manifestation of one's own subjective philosophy.
As they only exist on a subjective level then the creator of rights are naturally the individual.
Even though collectively people can enforce certain rights that they share in common , such as the constitution, it is still up to each individual to believe in and live by those rights.
