description | "Right" is the legal and moral entitlement to obtain or refrain from obtaining an action, in civil society. Rights are human constructs, created by society and enforced by the government. The constraints and obligations are placed on the individuals or groups. It is not necessary that a right should be understood by the holder of that right; these rights may be recognized on behalf of another, such as children’s rights. However, right must be understood by someone in order to have its legal and moral existence.
