 G.W.F. Hegel -- Social and Political Thought [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
At this stage the universally right is abstract and one-sided and thus requires a move to a higher level of self-consciousness where the universally right is mediated by the particular convictions of the willing subject.
However, right as an abstract universal and welfare as abstract particularity, may collide, since both are contingent on circumstances for their satisfaction, e.g., in cases where claims of right or welfare by someone may endanger the life of another there can be a counter-claim to a right of distress.
The moments of universality, particularity, and individuality initially are represented respectively in the institutions of the family, civil society, and the state.
