Goals are community based and rights are the goals of the individual. Rights are rights of individuals and they are moral ideas. The Fugitive Slave Law was a purpose-based law, not a rights-based law. Dworkin says rights trump all goals. Since Shadrach should have the right to be free, the jurors made the right choice in not convicting the Emancipators. Dworkin talks about principles or goals when deciding a case. He says the jury must use principles to decide cases. The jury in the Morris case used principles in reaching its not guilty decision. Dworkin explains that goals don't always exceed goals. He says that “no one shall be permitted to profit from his own fraud.” In the Morris affair, the emancipators did not benefit from the crime they committed. They help a man free himself from slavery. In this case, Dworkin would say that this principle should be used in the jury's decision.
