Legal Rights

Legal rights are entitlements or permissions granted by law that individuals can claim and enforce in a legal system. They arise from statutes, regulations, or court decisions and provide a framework for protecting individuals' freedoms and responsibilities. In Rights Theory, these rights are often seen as essential for ensuring justice and equality, allowing people to act according to their interests while recognizing the rights of others. Essentially, legal rights help maintain order and fairness in society by defining what individuals can expect and demand from one another and from the government.
