Natural Rights:"(also called moral rights or inalienable rights) are rights which are not contingent upon the laws, customs, or beliefs of a particular society or polity."
Right of Self Determination:"It is the right of the people of a nation to decide how they want to be governed without the influence of any other country. "
Right of Revolution:"It is a right or duty, variously stated throughout history, possessed by subjects of a state that justifies their action to overthrow the government to whom the subjects otherwise would owe allegiance."
Popular Sovereignty:"A pre-Civil War doctrine asserting the right of the people living in a newly organized territory to decide by vote of their territorial legislature whether or not slavery would be permitted there."
Social Contract:"An agreement among the members of an organized society or between the governed and the government defining and limiting the rights and duties of each."
The most important is Natural Rights.The people are allowed to have their rights and their liberty given above all. Then comes the Right of Self-Determination I think that every person gets to choose if he wants or doesn't want to do something. Right of Revolution passes next if you don't agree with something you should have the rights to disagree and if we don't listen to you, you can rebel. Next comes Popular Sovereignty I think that it comes kind of last because people might be selfish and vote FOR slavery. However, it should not be last because there are good people in this world. Finally, comes Social Contract I don't think it is the most important. However, it is imoprtant for protection and all. Although, I do not agree that they agree to abandon themselves to the government.

Well-organized. I appreciate your reasons for the ranking system. Do continue to think about each of these principles and work to define them in your own words. Also, do change the language of your blog to English.
