It seems to me that unless you interpret "right" to include "any and all entitlement or possession that you can get", it doesn't have to. If you do, then no one ought to get anymore entitlement and possessions than any other, and any economic system driven by disequilibrium in wealth and possession, such as capitalism, would contradict Article one.
But if you define right to be some specific set of entitlements and/or obligations, then it would be possible to adjust the content of the set to suite essentially any system of economy and governance.
