found only in the infinite Being and his will.

American Dictionary of The English Language
Noah Webster 1828
RIGHT.
A
well founded claim. If people believe that humanity itself
establishes or proves certain claims, either upon fellow beings, or
upon society or government, they call these claims human rights; If
they believe these claims inhere in the very nature of man himself,
they called them inherent, inalienable rights; If people believe
that there inheres in monarchs a claim to rule over their subjects by
divine appointment, the call the claim divine right, jus
divinum, if
the claim is founded or given by law, it is a legal right. The ideas
of claim and that the claim must be well founded always constitute
the idea of right. Rights can only inhere in and exist between moral
beings; and no moral beings can coexist without rights, consequently
without obligations. (in part)
