You’re asking why the state doesn’t exercise your rights for you instead of waiting for you to exercise them.

On the one hand, I see your point. Just make it all part of the process. On the other hand, I have in illusions that rights and representation are going to be brought to me on a silver platter and defended by someone else on my behalf.

They very least that any citizen must be prepared to do is invoke the rights they have. It would be great if we didn’t have to. But a lot of things would be great.
