The Magna Carta (1215 - 1217) was

“The first written constitution in European history that established rights of any kind.”

https://everything-everywhere.com/the-magna-carta/

It was drafted by nobles (with guns of their own) to protect themselves and their property from abuses by The Monarch.

This “first constitution” had nothing to do with “human rights” as we know them. It established protections for the privileged class BY permitting the monarch to STILL have absolute power over all others.

This same pattern is prevalent throughout the history of constitutions. People with guns and power (over people) negotiating with each other to preserve these.

Today, constitutions are seen as documents protecting human rights. In truth, they are documents outlining the “rules” (laws) by which power (over people) may be wielded. In this way, constitutions guarantee the existence of (an ever expanding and centralized) government by asserting it’s role as “law”.

My questions for freedom lovers:

Could society (at large) still function without a centralized “rules of governance”?

What would be the “minimum human rights” agreement needed for such a society (of many freedom respecting governments) to thrive?

De ahí surge buen debate y no creo que uno solo logre explicar todo un sistema, pero allá vamos (al menos para animar el debate) 😅

Principio de no agresión para todos y a partir de ahí “pequeñas comunidades” elaboran sus propias leyes.
