A legal right refers to a person's entitlement or authority derived from law. It is an enforceable claim that a person can make against another person, entity or organization for the protection of their interests in accordance with established rules and principles of law. Legal rights are typically granted through legislation, common law, or treaties, and they provide individuals with the ability to seek redress when their legal rights have been violated. Examples of legal rights include property rights, contractual rights, civil liberties, human rights, and constitutional rights.
