Concept of Rights (definition and quick framing)
Rights are entitlements or justified claims that individuals or groups hold against others or the state; they can require non‑interference, provision, or protection. Rights are often discussed as legal (statutory/constitutional) or moral (ethical claims), and they can be positive (claim to provision) or negative (freedom from interference).

Interpretation of Rights (major frameworks)
Hohfeldian analysis: breaks rights into claim‑rights, liberties, powers, and immunities — useful for legal clarity and judicial reasoning.
Natural rights tradition: rights as pre‑political moral claims (Lockean/Rousseauian roots).
Legal positivism: rights exist because law recognizes them; focus on institutional sources.
Rights as trumps (Dworkin): rights protect individuals against majority utilitarian calculations; they limit policy trade‑offs.
These frameworks shape how courts and policymakers interpret scope, limitations, and remedies.
