RIGHT. This word is used in different meanings: 1. Sometimes it means a law, as when we say that natural law obliges us to keep our promises, or that it offers reparation, or that it forbids murder. In our language, it is rarely used in this sense. 2. This sometimes means that quality in our actions, by which they are designated only as such. This is generally referred to as justice. 3. It is the quality of a man by which he can perform certain deeds or possess certain things which belong to him by virtue of a title. In this sense, we use it when we say that a man has a right to his property or to defend himself.

3. Rights are perfect and imperfect. If the things we have the right to possess, or the acts to which we are entitled, are or can be fixed and destined, the right is perfect; But if the thing or the actions are vague and indefinite, the law is imperfect. If a man demands his property, which is denied to him, the right that supports his claim is perfect; For the thing required is, or can be, determined and determined. 4. But if a poor person asks for help from those from whom he has reason to expect, the law which supports his request is imperfect; Because the relief he expects is a vaguely vague thing. Pity.

A man has the absolute right to recover property belonging to him; The representative has the right to recover such property if it has been entrusted to him and if it has been unlawfully seized from him. Empty Trover. 6.Rights can also be divided decisively into natural and civil rights, but since all the rights that man has received from nature have been modified and newly acquired by civil law, it is more correct to divide them into political and civil rights when considering their object. 7. Political rights consist of the power to participate, directly or indirectly, in the establishment or administration of a government.
These political rights are set out in the Constitution. Every citizen has the right to elect and be elected; These are the political rights enjoyed by the humblest citizen. 8. Civil rights are those that are not related to the establishment, support or administration of government. These consist of the power to acquire and enjoy property, to exercise paternal and matrimonial power, etc. It will be observed that if everyone is not deprived of it by a civil sentence of death, he enjoys his civil rights, which is not the case with political rights; For a foreigner, for example, has no political rights, although he fully exercises his civil rights. 9. The latter rights are divided into absolute and relative rights. The absolute rights of humanity can be reduced to three main or main articles: the right to personal security, which is the right of a person to enjoy his life, limbs, body, health and reputation legally and without interruption; The right to personal liberty, which consists of the power of movement, change of situation or removal of the person from any place, may be ordered without restriction, except by law; The right of ownership, which consists of the free use, enjoyment and disposal of all its acquisitions, without any control or reduction, except by the laws of the country. 1 Bl.
124 bis 139. 10. Relative rights are public or private: the former are those that exist between the people and the government, such as the right to the protection of the people and the right of loyalty to the government; The second is the mutual rights of husband and wife, parent and child, guardian and ward, master and servant. 11. Rights are equally divided into legal and equitable rights. The first are those where the party has legal title to a thing, and in that case, their remedy is for a violation of that thing by bringing an action in court. Although the holder of the title may not have a real interest, but only hold it as trustee, the action must be brought in his name and not in that of the trust in general. 1 East, 497 8 T.

Any legal right that one person possesses refers to a corresponding legal obligation imposed on another. For example, if a person owns a house and property, he or she has the right to own and enjoy it without interference from others, who have a corresponding duty not to interfere with the owner`s rights by entering the property or breaking into the house. In an abstract sense, justice, ethical rectitude or harmony with the rules of law or the principles of morality.
In a concrete legal sense, a power, privilege, requirement or claim that a particular person possesses as of right. 1) n. a claim to something, whether it be concepts such as justice and due process, or property, or an interest in property, real or personal. These rights include various freedoms, protection against interference with the enjoyment of life and property, civil rights of citizens such as the right to vote and access to courts accepted by civilized societies, human rights to protect peoples throughout the world from terror, torture, barbaric practices and deprivation of civil rights and to enjoy their work. and U.S. constitutional guarantees such as the right to freedom of speech, press, religion, assembly, and petition. 2) adj. just, just, correct.
The U.S. Supreme Court settled a dispute between the secured creditors of Penn Central Railroad and Consolidated Rail Corp. (Conrail) with a ruling stating that fair compensation should not be paid in cash. The secured creditors argued that the forcible transfer of rail freight (in which they had secured interests) to Conrail through legislation in Congress would constitute an expropriation of their property, because the Conrail securities offered to them in exchange were not the monetary equivalent of their interests, and because it was not clear whether they could sue the federal government in court. to the difference. The court concluded that Penn Central`s secured creditors could be compelled to accept Conrail`s securities as compensation for their interest, provided that if the value of those securities was found to be less than the value of the involuntarily transferred interest, creditors could bring an action for annulment in the United States Court of Claims under the Tucker Act. to recover a cash payment for any loss of profits. The court refrained from specifying which valuation methods should be used, suggesting that the court leave it to the expert profession to develop appropriate valuation methods for such cases. In examining this issue, it appears that non-monetary fair compensation may fall into the following categories: securities, commodities, other land and services. Similarly, in cases of partial admission, curative work could be proposed in new complications of the assessment process. These issues are briefly discussed later in this article.
Civil rights are those that belong to every citizen of the state and are not affiliated with the organization or administration of the government. These include property rights, marriage, protection by law, freedom of contract, jury trials, etc. These rights may be enforced or corrected in a civil action before the courts. The Veterans Affairs File was created to deal with criminal cases involving former military personnel. This is a special case designed to restore rather than punish. In constitutional law, rights are classified as natural, civil and political. Natural rights are those that are supposed to flow from the nature of the individual and depend on his personality, such as the right to life, liberty, privacy and the pursuit of happiness. Judge Lynch is a judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Franklin County, Ohio. Political rights include the power to participate, directly or indirectly, in the establishment or administration of a government, such as the right to citizenship, the right to vote, and the right to hold public office.
