This case emphasizes the significance of the fundamental human rights, which you argue includes privacy and argues the danger of implementing policy designed to help society at the cost of these rights. Your argument draws on the foundational themes behind the constitution that government should not encroach or try to justify limiting rights. You’ll find quotations and applications that make this argument and provide examples of both policy failure and success.
The second contention provides depth to your argument by attacking the counter-argument that the right to know is itself a right, introducing the terminology of negative and positive rights, or those rights that merely allow others do not encroach on your freedoms versus those that create an obligation on others to do something for you, respectively. The citations explain why positive rights shouldn’t be a reason to limit the negative ones like privacy, which means that whether the right to know is a true right or positive social measure, it still doesn’t justify a restriction on privacy. To win with this case, you’ll want to emphasize the importance of maintaining our human rights and the danger of trading them for beneficial policy.
