And why would anyone guarantee rights to someone or something else?

i'm sure you can answer this one on your own.

Earlier, you stated, """ that's great rhetoric but it's not true. rights cannot be 'endowed' they can only be 'guaranteed' and the guaranteer is the sole source of the right. """

I asked,"And why would anyone guarantee rights to someone or something else?"

You replied, ""i'm (s0c)sure you can answer this one on your own.""

Since you believe that rights only exist as something guaranteed by someone else, I would be interested as to your reasoning. Who or what guarantees rights and why?
