Declaring rights
One thing Rakove points out that I found very important is the fact that the definition of rights changed over time; it evolves from liberties and privileges that the Crown granted to particular groups to the birthright of free individuals.
The source of rights also evolved from the Crown to the law of nature, the constitution and the Parliament’s legislative functions, and the Declaration of Rights in 1689 helped establish the concept that the Crown should have no authority to infringe rights.
A quality of the book that stands out to me is the amount of resources and data Rakove utilizes, and although the details he offers in his writing help me gain understanding, they sometimes prevent me from full comprehension of the piece as a whole.
It is also important to note how the forms of declarations of rights changed over time, which involves aversion of tyranny, although the monarchs were still able to manage the parliament.
Overall, the reading this week on “Declaring Rights” gives me a good idea of the origins, meaning and the importance of declaring rights both in English and America.
