[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 2515254, member: 3424"] I'm arguing that the value that a person places on his personal liberty and freedom depends on his attitude towards Law and Chaos, but the value that a person places on the liberty and freedom of others depends on his attitude towards Good and Evil. So, a bill of rights is Lawful because it curtails personal freedoms, but Good because it promotes the freedom of others. A Lawful Evil person would not want a bill of rights because he places no value on the freedom of others. A Chaotic Good person would not see the need for a bill of rights because he values his own personal freedom too much to have some document telling him what he can or cannot do. He still values the freedom of others, and would take active steps to prevent what he perceives to be abuses of human rights, but he would do so personally or with a group of like-minded individuals, rather than depend on laws and institutions.
