Rights and Responsibilities
- Rights obligate every one of us personally as well as the government to act in a particular manner.
- Common Good: Defending certain things for everyone, not just our wants. They stand for the “common good,” which is safeguarded for present and future generations.
- Honouring the Rights of Others: One cannot deny someone else their rights in the process of exerting one’s own. The equal and same rights for everyone premise must restrict each person’s rights.
- We have to strike a compromise when our rights conflict.
- Responsibilities: People are ready to have their rights curtailed. Giving governments authority that they may use to restrict people’s rights requires careful consideration.

In this blog, we have discussed ‘Rights’ and Legal Rights Notes specifically for Class 11 students.
