Right follows from the person. Whoever is a person can have rights. This capacity is the basis for everything that comes in the first part.

That is why the command of this right is very simple:

Be a person and respect others as persons.

Both halves belong together. I should assert myself as a free I. And I should grant the same to everyone else. No one is only a thing, no one only a tool.

Summary: Because a human being is a person, he has rights. The first command says: Be a person and respect others as persons.
