answer:I don’t think that the concept of rights really means what most people think it means. People seem to think that if something is a right, then it is like a god given right. It belongs to them no matter what. In fact, rights are given by us. Societies. The only thing that is a right is a thing that we are all committed to guaranteeing for everyone else in the society. So when we guarantee free speech, it really isn’t something we can count on unless everyone is willing to stand up for it. Usually, people aren’t willing to stand up for all speech, and thus rights get limited. Laws and legislation (same thing) are supposed to be applied equally. So if we pass a law that gives poor people certain benefits under certain circumstances, then we should all have a right to those benefits under those circumstances. But the government doesn’t treat people fairly all the time, and the government is made up of individuals who are not all as smart as we would hope they would be, and thus, some people who should get the benefit, are denied it. They can sue, if they can find someone to represent them, and they might win. But it isn’t really a right, because we don’t all have equal access to the resources we need to make sure we have our rights.
