The natural law, in its original conception, was intended to include both rights and duties. The rights will wither away. Whoever is in a position to interpret the sains puhlira or to act in the name of Society or State can use the allegedly unfulfilled duties to shove aside the rights. A bill of duties of the citizens towards the State would require as its counterpart a formulation of the duties of the sovereign State towards the citizen. However, though the State can compel the citizen, the citizen cannot compel the State to respect these duties. Hence the possibility that government transgresses the rights or fails in its duties would logically require not only a right, but also a duty, of rebellion or revolution on the side of the citizen-a thing completely empty under modern technological conditions. This right and duty of revolution can be misused; the State will again have a right and the duty to suppress such revolutions. That means the theoretical justification of civil war by natural law.
