5. For this we expect each other to behave in such
a way that does not harm or hurt us. People
can not have rights that harm or hurt others.
The claims we make should be reasonable and
should be recognised by the society. They
should be such that can be made available to
others in equal measures. Thus, a right comes
with obligation to respect other rights.

To prevent the arbitrary exercise of power on individuals or

9. Democracy itself revolves around the word
“Rights”. If there are no rights, it can not be
called as a democracy. Rights help us to speak
for our self and what we want from our
government, it helps us in choosing the leader
to run our government. They ensure that the
majority can not do whatever it likes. It also
provides us the equality between the other
caste, creed , culture and helps in uniting us
for our common goals. Rights are guarantees
which can be used when things go wrong.
They help the citizens to remain superior in a
Democracy.
