abstract right

has a single mandate: Be a person and respect others as persons.

Recast in definition form from: “Its mandate is: Be a person and respect others as persons.”

knows only prohibitions — every positive command rests in the end on a "do not injure."

Recast in definition form from: “Because of this abstract character of right the only rule which is unconditionally its own is merely the negative principle not to injure personality or anything which of necessity belongs to it. Hence we have here only prohibitions, the positive form of command having in the last resort a prohibition as its basis.”

is a right to use force — yet to define it as the right of compulsion is to reach it by the roundabout way of wrong.

Recast in definition form from: “A wrong done to this right is a force exercised against my liberty realized in an external thing To define strict abstract right as the right to use compulsion is to apprehend it as a result, which enters first of all by the roundabout way of wrong.”
