A right is a just claim or title, whether legal, prescriptive, or moral.[1] Political rights include those enumerated in the Bill of Rights, such as the right to bear arms, and freedom of speech.
"A citizen may not be required to offer a good and substantial reason why he should be permitted to exercise his rights. The right's existence is all the reason he needs." -- Judge Benson E. Legg
