I don't think everyone being entitled to a right is a commandment- More like a blanket "Thou shalt not infringe on the rights of others" or "Thou shalt keep thy nose in thine own business".

Strike intentionally and irresponsibly.
I agree with 4x4. The last three are what I consdider declarations of entitlements, not commandments.

I always liked the comment by the Supreme Court Justice who said, " My rights end where yours begin."

I suspect the reason they did not propose a blanket statement like that is because it leaves completely open what those rights might or might not be. So they wanted to specify particular important rights.

Not sure why people are interpreting those rights as positive rights as opposed to negative rights. A right of free speech does not necessarily require that someone provide speech to another person.
