And this is where John "the most based philosopher since Epicurus" Stuart Mill comes in

His edition of utilitarianism actually includes principles; philosophers like him, as well as Thomas Paine, are the people we have to thank for things like the concept of human rights.

Principles such as liberty being a fundamentally good thing allowed the ideal of eudaimonia to be included in Rule utilitarianism.

Sorry but not all humans are equal. Slaves shouldn't have the same rights as citizens, and citizens shouldn't have the same right's as kings.
