In an absolute type of monarchy, the monarch, which could be a king or a queen, is exercising total control over his or her subjects. The monarch could be doing whatever he or she wants, either positive or negative ones. His or her subjects cannot do anything since no one is limiting his or her powers.
Absolute monarchical rule was followed by previous kings and queens, especially those who ruled medieval England. However, the Great Charter formulated by several feudal barons concerned of their rights was signed by King John of England which led to constitutional law being born. Human rights was also born on that event which is the Magna Carta significance today.
There are a lot of human rights that individuals should take note of. These rights are moral principles that everyone should respect. The following principles are only some of those that people really need to know. However, at the end of the day, everything will come down to respect.
Anyone possess the right to live. Even a baby inside the womb of the mother is possessing this. A parent should not be aborting the baby or even thinking about this idea. The principle is also opposing wars as they are causing sufferings to people and also casualties.
Individuals should not be inflicted with pain and tortured by others. Torture and force were typically used by past rulers for their political force to be asserted and this could be the same reason why force is used by other groups nowadays. However, torture can also give gratification to others which is morally wrong. This act is prohibited by international law.
Persons should also not enslave their fellowmen. People of the past enslave others to work for their benefits. The slaves usually did not have the money to pay for the things that they have borrowed from these people or have done something wrong to them. Nowadays, international law also prohibits enslavement of other individuals for whatever reasons they have.
If a certain person has committed a crime, he should be allowed a fair trial. An impartial tribunal should be judging him after weighing the gravity of his offense and if he is really guilty. The tribunal members should be seeking evidences of his guilt. On the other hand, the accused could be asking for an attorney to be defending him and hopefully setting him free from the charges pressed against him if he is not guilty of the crime.
Opinions can also be freely spoken of by people as long as their intentions are not to hurt other people. Their own opinions on whatever topics that would affect them in any way could be freely expressed. However, this right might not be absolute as their freedom is limited by several countries. In these countries, criminal charges like obscenity, slander, and libel, among others could be faced by these individuals.
People are also free to choose whatever religion they want to follow. There are a lot of religions that exist today which also have different teachings and beliefs. They also have the freedom not to choose any type of religion if they do not believe in such things, as well.
