France's constitution explicitly states that rights originate in the
individual and are delegated to government, something that, so far as I
am aware, is only stated by the US and Lithuanian Constitutions.
Admittedly, France is the weaker of the three, allowing mere majorities
to change things, and suffering from a judiciary that is heavily
socialist and will legislate from the bench as the need arises, while
the US and Lith. require supermajorities to amend the constitution.
