Given that definition, I can't think of any society in the history of the world that didn't believe (at least for those in power) that they have the right to their 'property'
Your caveat "at least for those in power" is where the rub lies. Those in a dominant position use laws to enforce and entrench their position. Slave owners regarded slaves as property and the laws they made supported that position. The majority came to the moral position that slavery was bad, hence the laws were bad and they were overturned.
My point is that in any society the laws should reflect the moral view of the majority, if they don't they are bad laws.
When you have a situation when people are breaking the law when the majority would consider they are making "fair use" then it is a bad law.
It is not only possible, but factual, that societies have decided that liberty is not a basic human right
Do you mean the leaders decided or the majority? If it was the leaders that supports my position on bad laws, if it was the people can you point to specific examples?
