2 ...individual<--->individualVALUING HUMAN RIGHTS
I believe that all people are born equal in dignity and entitled to certain rights and freedoms. To everyone at birth, I would grant the following legal rights: life, liberty, equality before the law, legal recourse when rights have been violated, presumption of innocence until proven guilty, and the right to appeal conviction. Legally they would be protected from discrimination (by race, sex, color, nationality, language, sexual orientation), unwarranted invasion of privacy, arbitrary arrest, torture, inhuman treatment and servitude. I also would extend to them certain freedoms: of movement, of speech and creative expression (exempting what is hateful or hurtful to society), of assembly, to practice religion, to work (and to fair compensation for their work), and to choose a marriage partner.
