I think a rights based reasoning framework is problematic in general, it leads people to focus too much on what is considered their "right" and ignores both the harms associated with having that right and the reasoning on which that right was based.
You can fall into the trap of assuming your "right to private property" means that taxation is theft or you can start with a "right to privacy" and decide law enforcement should never be able to access the contents of your smart phone, rather than discussing the reasons for private property or privacy.
And in case case, rights tend to never be justified, just asserted and treated like true axioms.
