These rights may not be abridged by government or by individuals and are protected by the force of law. Even due process provisions impose stringent limits on those exercising them. Although not entirely absolute, constitutionally guaranteed human rights form the most basic of expectations. This set of expectations would rarely serve as the basis for defining a problem. It would be unusual for a problem-solver to commit resources to change a situation to conform to conventional wisdom.
Common sense suffers from much the same fault.
Common sense is most frequently a personal, subjective judgment that would likely not motivate one to commit resources in order to restore. Violations of the law or of institutional policies and procedures ordinarily lead to sanctions. Laws, policies, and procedures differ from other bodies of expectations in that they command conduct or behavior. An individual accepts the code by participating in the institution that levels it. A corporation may enforce a dress code or a community may pass a law forbidding spitting on a public street.
