Rights v. Privelages, According to Michael Badnarik

Today's post is an important educational read about the US Constitution and property law for all of you who haven't read Mr. Badnarik's book, Good To Be King (Available on Amazon). The above PDF is a sample chapter of his work pertaining to what the differences between "rights" and "privelages" are. In it's most simplified form, the scholar stipulates that rights are things that are inherently yours and cannot be taken away from you. Conversely, privelages are "gifts", if you will, that can be taken away just as easily as they are given at potentially any time.

This is honestly a very easy to read, informative, and really quite fun essay. I encourage all our readers to check it out. It will only take maybe 20-30 minutes of your time and is well worth it!
