A person's rights are what they can do or have legally or morally.

In the United States, some legal rights are listed in the Bill of Rights

'I have a right to x generally means that someone else has an obligation to provide me with x or not to stop me from having x'.

Not all thinkers believe in moral rights. For example, Jeremy Bentham described them as 'nonsense upon stilts'
