Ayn Rand Ayn Rand has thoroughly emphasized the importance of individual’s right thorough out her chapter “ Man’s Right”. In the beginning she calls rights as basic, moral and essential principles that reflect each and every single person’s actions in a society. Rights can be referred as the freedom of actions, beliefs, ideas, thoughts and choices in a moral society, a society where every person respects others freedom of action. In simple words moral laws and rights in every society are created with the only purpose to flourish individuals’ rights. In her next chapter Rand explains about the nature of the government, its importance and its duties to maintain individual rights in the society. She defines government as “ an institution that holds exclusive power to enforce certain rules of social conduct in a given geographical area”. According to her, government is important for a society because living in a social environment is healthier rather than isolation. Knowledge and trade are the fruits of society and governments increase their sweetness by a pronounce supervision and authority.
