Well, you may recognize rights. I think most humans want to do evil. If there wasn't a force that would find you for committing violence most people would be violent. Tribes were small for a reason. Cities came into being because of "government" or a person such as a lord, king or tribal leader that passed down laws. I don't think anyone recognizes anything. This is why we need the government to force humans into this way of thinking. "Rightful preview and authority of the entity doing the granting to refuse to do so." Yes. Unfortunately today in this human world that is the case.

It's non optional. Unless we have an accepted underlying principle of free will leading to a principle of voluntary consent then the government enforcing the idea will just devolve into "social justice" or whatever nonsense prevails at the moment. Rights cannot be granted. They must be recognized. Any right granted can be rescinded by the same authority, because a grant of right can only be made by authority wherease recognition of rights is outside of authority.
