Okay, I think the main reason I haven't been agreeing with you is because I've been thinking more about destruction from within, corruption, mismanagement, economic collapse, Ect. That is also why I put so much emphasis on rights. I have yet to really entertain the thought of destruction from outside, I think mainly because I'm an American and, at least for as long as I've been alive, we've been the "world police". We haven't really had anyone wage war on our ground (besides 9-11), nor have we had a mandatory draft.

So how does the list of 'rights' prevent economic collapse?

 

If anything, I'd suggest the list would in fact facilitate economic collapse. And I'd go further and suggest that contrary to what appears to be the basic idea of fairness, they are unfair.

 

Take 23 of the first degree. How on earth is that fair? On the surface it might seem very fair, but in real life it isn't. For example, say I'm running a small company employing a couple of people. I'm required to pay them the requisite wage as you describe, but the company is going through a bit of a hard time. Consequently to keep the company afloat I find I've to take a reduced emolument (my wage). So who can I take action against for a wage lower than your ideal? In other words that one example has created a two tier society. Unfairness straight away.
