Kant’s Transcendental Philosophy: An In-Depth Analysis
Transcendental Aesthetics
Kant realizes that solving this problem is necessary to develop a new theory of knowledge, according to which objects must conform to our knowledge.

The rights are guarantees, freedoms, and privileges that people have. They may or may not be guaranteed by law and are intended to protect every citizen. Every law is the fulfillment of a duty.
