The nature and value of rights

4. Explain the notion of a sovereign right-monopoly. How would this work in Nowheresville according to Feinberg? Sovereign right-monopoly, if applied, will make people incur genuine obligations toward one another; but the obligations (here's the twist) will not be owed directly to promises, creditors, parents, and the like, but rather to God alone, or to the members of some elite, or to a single sovereign under God. Sovereign right-monopoly would work in Nowheresville by having delegated authorities empowered to give commands to their underlings and to punish them for their disobedience.
