How the answer moves
The flow snapshot — the routes in, the body, the counter-view and the routes out.
Route 1 rights not fixed → scope widens with the idea of dignity → Vasak’s three generations
Route 2 generations ≠ hierarchy → three successive answers to what dignity demands
Vasak classifies → first gen (civil-political / negative “blue” / restraint on the state; Magna Carta, French Declaration; UDHR 3–21) → second gen (socio-economic-cultural / “red” / positive state action; industrialisation, socialism, welfare; UDHR 22–28) → third gen (collective-solidarity / protects communities; decolonisation, inequality 1960s–70s; self-determination, development, peace, environment; Stockholm, Rio)
Cranston (no resources → no rights) + Hayek (central planning drains citizen power) vs Waldron (the next step to realise the first)
Route 1 useful to classify, wrong to rank
Route 2 indivisible + interdependent → liberty without security is weak; welfare without freedom turns authoritarian
