Every human being has a right to basic necessities like food, clothing, housing, and medical

treatment. The basic goal of all rights is to give people the freedom to make their own decisions and
to safeguard those decisions. The majority of legal rights shield people from doing damage or being
corrupted or getting either. Moral norms serve as the foundation for the same legal rules that
safeguard us. Together, they have an effect on how we behave, how we behave toward others, and
how others behave toward us.
Three crucial characteristics of moral rights characterize their enabling and protective roles. The first
trait is the strong correlation between moral obligations and rights. As a result, it is possible to define
a person's moral right in terms of the moral obligations other people have toward them. Additionally,
if someone is morally free to do anything, then others have a moral obligation to respect that freedom.
Giving people equality and agency in the pursuit of their own interests is the second aspect of moral
rights. This implies that individuals have the freedom to pursue or not pursue any hobbies or interests
of their choosing. The ability to justify one's acts and to request the protection or assistance of others
is the third aspect of moral rights. This is proven by the idea that if someone has a moral obligation
to do something, they also have a moral justification for doing it.
