Did calvinists believe in the rights of the individual?

Calvinists emphasized the sovereignty of God and the importance of personal faith, which led to a focus on individual responsibility in spiritual matters. However, their belief in predestination often meant that individual rights were framed within a communal context, prioritizing the church and societal order over personal autonomy. While they valued moral agency, the collective governance of the community and adherence to divine laws were also central to their worldview. Therefore, Calvinism supports individual rights to some extent but often within the limits of theological and communal obligations.
