Right means a moral or legal entitlement to have or do something. Rights are legal, social, or ethical principles of freedom or entitlement; and are often considered fundamental to any civilization, for they are regarded as established pillars of society and culture. Every person is entitled to enjoy some rights simply for being a human. Such rights are called ‘Human Rights’. Human rights are the rights we have simply because we exist as human beings. Again, the Fundamental Rights are a group of rights that have been recognized by a high degree of protection from encroachment. These rights are specifically identified in the Constitution. Some other rights and privileges are contained in the Constitution as Fundamental Principles of State Policy. Whether Fundamental Rights are enforceable, the Fundamental Principles of State Policy are not under such constitutional protection. Fundamental Rights are mainly civil and political matters whereas Fundamental Principles are economic, social, and cultural.
Keywords: Right, Human right, Fundamental right, and Constitution.
