4.2 BASIS OF RIGHTS
Whether a right is a right of action, a right of resilience or a right to be left alone, it is important to ask what
is the basis of the right in question. Some rights derive from law, some from moral codes and some from
tradition. It is essential, therefore, to classify rights according to their basis.
4.2.1 LEGAL RIGHTS
Legal rights are recognised and enforced as a part of a legal system. These rights are generally set forth in the
constitution, and because they are enshrined in law, they are enforceable through the courts. Legal rights are
limited, of course, to the particular jurisdiction within which the legal system is in force.
