A right? Yes, but not necessarily an obligation. The statement would be better if "individual" were more precisely defined. Ms. Roosevelt was implying, I think, that we have a moral obligation to realize our potential (our individual uniqueness) and contribute to society, as well as to our own happiness. But whether or not that is true, depends on what morality you espouse.

Although it does not sound like a bad proposal, the regulations do not provide for unilateral tariff restructuring. If it were agreed upon in committee, only then would it conform.
